The Sacco and Vanzetti case became one of the most controversial trials of the twentieth century. Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, two Italian immigrants and anarchists, were accused of robbery and double murder in Massachusetts in 1920. This episode reconstructs the trial, the climate of fear surrounding political radicalism, the doubts over witnesses and ballistic evidence, Judge Webster Thayer’s role, the rejected appeals, and their execution in 1927. It is a story about prejudice, politics, due process, and a question that still matters: when does a court judge a crime, and when does it judge the people it fears?
