EP281: Harry Thaw - The First 'Trial Of The Century'

Before O.J., before Menendez, before every “trial of the century” that would follow—there was Harry K. Thaw. The millionaire playboy who gunned down famed architect Stanford White in front of hundreds of witnesses at Madison Square Garden. His crime? Passion. Jealousy. Madness. Or maybe all three.
In this Crimes & Consequences episode, we take you inside the scandal that rocked the Gilded Age: a love triangle dripping in sex, secrets, and society’s hypocrisy. From Thaw’s obsession with showgirl Evelyn Nesbit to the shocking courtroom circus that defined American media’s hunger for spectacle—this is where tabloid true crime was born.
