Imagine you are Bruno Richard Hauptmann, accused of murdering the son of the most famous man in America.
In a compelling, immediate voice, 12-year-old Katie Leigh Flynn takes us inside the courtroom of the most widely publicized criminal case of the 20th century: the kidnapping and murder of Charles Lindbergh's baby son. And in doing so, she reveals the real-life figures of the trial—the accused, the lawyers, the grieving parents—and the many faces of justice.

If I was Bruno Richard Hauptman, I would be afraid. If I was innocent, then I would be wondering why I was being prossecuted. If I was guilty, I would be hoping that he wouldn't be convicted. I would be scared either way.
as over whelming as the evidence is katie makes your heart wrench that this man if convicted is leaving his son behind. even though in the end of the book he is found guilty you can help but wonder was he really. i guess his personality doesnt come off as a cold blooded killer just a family man barely making it.
OUCH. that would really...be very bad. i'd probably go into hiding or something. but if it was a fair trial then i wouldnt be proven guilty. so i guess the right thing to do would be to not panic and just go along with everything to show that i have nothing to hide.
If I were him, I would think that it's over because it showed that the evidence was against him so why bother? People think I did it. In the book he was really calm and he probably figured he was going to die so he just sat there and said nothing. The point, I'd feel that I was framed and there was nothing I could do about it.
