A teacher is planing an assignment  which would have students research
famous murder trials from about 1960 to the present.  We are in the
process of compiling a list.  We are using Gale's  Great American Trials,
and also Bloodletters and badmen as a start.

So far we have:
Richard Speck
The case that inspired In Cold Blood
Joel steinberg
Sirhan Sirhan
Charles Manson
William Calley court marshall
Angela Davis
Ted Bundy
Gary Mark Gilmore
Son of Sam
Jean Harris
John Hinckley
Weathermen
Bernard Goetz
Pamela Smart
OJ Simpson
John Demjanjuk


Obviously, some of these may not make it to the final list.
Can you let me know others  to add to this list?
I'll post a hit.  TIA.
