Listen now to get the main key ideas from Marcia Clark's Trial by Ambush
Barbara Graham was executed in 1955 for a murder she did not commit. She was born unwanted and then neglected. As she grew up, she fell into a life of petty crime. In 1953, the brutal murder of Mabel Monahan during a botched robbery thrust Barbara into the media spotlight. The press portrayed Barbara as a cold-blooded killer, and her trial was marred by prosecutorial misconduct. In Trial by Ambush (2024), lawyer and prosecutor Marcia Clark delves into the actual transcripts to expose how the justice system failed Barbara, exacerbated by societal biases and media sensationalism. Clark's investigation underscores the need for protecting the right to a fair trial.
