In 1913 Atlanta, 13-year-old Mary Fagan was brutally murdered at the National Pencil Company, but police arrested the wrong man—Jewish superintendent Leo Frank—ignoring eyewitness evidence and coerced testimony. The case reveals systemic racism, antisemitism, and corruption that led to Frank's wrongful conviction, and ultimately, his lynching by a mob in 1915, while the actual killer remained free for decades. Leo Frank was convicted solely on coerced testimony from Jim Conley, who initially claimed he couldn't read or write and couldn't identify the notes supposedly written by him, yet this dubious evidence secured a death sentence.
