Answer 2

The "Leo Frank Case" involved the lynching of a Jewish man by a mob in Cobb County. He was convicted of assaulting and killing 13-year-old Mary Phagan in 1915. Rather than being allowed to serve a sentence, Frank was then hanged by an angry mob. Evidence after his conviction suggests that he might have been not have been guilty after all.
