Sex, Murder, and the Unwritten Law: Courting Judicial Mayhem, Texas Style
Bill Neal
From the 1880s until after World War I, Texas prosecutions for adultery, fornication, rape, seduction, and sodomy were many, but formal penal code seemed insufficiently stringent to southerners, who often sought other redress. This title presents the 'honor defense' in six celebrated murder trials, 1896-1977.
