I grew up 10 minutes from Flemington, NJ where the Lindburgh trial was held. Many of the reporters stayed in The Union Hotel which has always been known as a local haunted house. To my knowledge, the place was recently demolished to make room for 'modernity' but one night my friends and I snuck into the joint. While the rest of us were upstairs trying to find something that resembled the supernatural, my friend struck up a conversation with a sharply dressed gentleman asking for directions to the courthouse. He was genuinely confused because it was 11 at night and everything was closed downtown. It wasn't until we went to the local diner two hours later that he told us this story and the rest of us started panicking and laughing hysterically! I don't think any of us slept well for several nights.

Perhaps maybe not as famous as some on the list, I think these trails have had a greater impact on society and the most individuals:
Scopes Monkey Trial
Brown v. Topeka Board Education
Emmet Till & Mississippi Burning Trials
My Lai Courts Martial Trials
Laramie (Matthew Shepard Murder)Trials
Kevorkian Trails
Also issues we thought settled by some of these trials are reemerging almost a century later.

I never watched these trials live because I wasn t born yet. The only one I think I watched live was the Casey Anthony trial. I still believe to this day that she did in fact kill her daughter and she got away with it. There are a few trials that I watched as they were happening, like the Johnny Depp and Lori Vallow trials. Although the trial of Johnny Depp, I only watched snippets of the trial not the whole thing.

George Bush had an affair with an intern while vice president, Newt Gingrich had repeated affairs while in Congress, the impeachment manager Henry Hyde had a 7-year-long affair with a married woman, and they all sit in judgment of Bill Clinton.
Exactly the hypocrisy that set the stage for trump fascism.

I remember getting into a huge argument with my gf at the time about that Casey Anthony case. I told her that Casey was gonna be found not guilty. She was yelling that Casey murdered her daughter (which I didn t dispute) I told her that the prosecution did a crap job of convincing me Casey was guilty

Nuremberg had to be number one the worst crime against humanity ever and that's the 6 million Jews that were murdered I'm not counting the 32 million other people who died in WW2 because the Nazis wanted to invade countries that did not belong to them they are responsible for those deaths also.

Hey, WatchMojo Of the last century? The last time I checked, a century was only 100 years long; some of these entries go all the way back to the 1800s.

Why is it called the trials of the century? Which century? They mentioned trials in the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries.
