This book researches a 1941 murder that occurred in Kansas City, Missouri. The victim was 24-year-old Leila Adele Welsh. It remains unsolved. For two years, this case made national news. The victim’s brother was eventually arrested, tried, and acquitted. Was that a rush to judgment to calm a city whose residents were going out and buying locks for their doors? Details are shared leading up to the grand jury indictments, the long preliminary hearing, and the trial. This book puts the reader in the juror’s seat given all the researched details, including the victim's family history, facts surrounding the case, and the questionable botched investigation.
