Description:

Lucretia and William Chapman were a prosperous happily married,couple in 1830s America. He was a prominent scientist; she was a dedicated mother and devoted educator. Then a dashing visitor named Lino Espos y Mina appeared at their door, claiming to be Mexican aristocracy. In reality, he was one of the most extraordinary con artists in American history. They took him in, and a month later, William died.Shortly after, authorities discovered Lucretia and Lino's affair, and they were charged with murder. Their separate trials -- each featuring sex, scandal, deception, and the striking courtroom tactics of remarkable lawyers -- produced two very different outcomes and riveted the young American nation.
