True Crime: The Court of Public Opinion - Murder vs. Self-Defense: The Case of Nancy Farrer
Join Alexis Knight as she delves into one of the earliest and most pivotal cases in American legal history: the trial of Nancy Farrer. In 1837, Farrer stood accused of murdering her abusive employer, but was it an act of self-defense?
This episode explores how this case shaped the legal precedent for self-defense claims and the complex moral questions that still divide public opinion today.
Was it murder, or was it a justified act of protection? Listen, analyze, and decide for yourself.
