It is probably fair to say that he invented the True Crime audio genre. The Chiron True Crime series was recorded by Lustgarten in a London studio in Dolby quality in 1976.

The voice of a top Barrister presenting the facts of the case with the hangman's noose waiting silently in the shadows. "Dismemberment of a human body to facilitate its disposal after an act of murder, can, says Edgar Lustgarten, peculiarly, arouse more revulsion in us than the killing itself. The cutting up of the body of Emily Kaye, the girl friend of one Patrick Mahon at a bungalow he had rented for a ‘love experiment’ at Eastbourne, was exceptionally horrifying and revolting. So much so that Bernard Spilsbury, the famous pathologist, described the butchered remains as the most gruesome he had ever seen.The accused did not deny that he had effected."" the dismemberment. Dismemberment, however, is not proof of murder, and Mahon fought stoutly for his life at a trial where Henry Curtiss-Bennett prosecuted, J. D. Casscls defended, and Mr. Justice Avory (‘The Hanging Judge’) presided in awesome and chilling detachment."

Lustgarten’s voice is austere but not without wit, gripping yet somehow addictive. The voice of a top Barrister presenting the facts of the case with the hangman's noose waiting silently in the shadows. “The foreman porter approached what looked like an empty compartment, says Edgar Lustgarten, and opened the door on a slaughterhouse. That a frightful murder had been committed there was no doubt at all. But could there be equal certainty about the murderer? The case against the accused rested largely on ‘identification’—a type of evidence that has led to several miscarriages of justice, and of which—as a result—juries have grown increasingly wary. Should the jury that tried Dickman have relied upon it? The verdict they reached was controversial, and has so remained. Edgar Lustgarten presents the trial so that you can form your own opinion—and ends by venturing an opinion of his own.”"

The voice of a top Barrister presenting the facts of the case with the hangman's noose waiting silently in the shadows. "Plain, homely, middle-aged Mrs. Merrifield, says Edgar Lustgarten, at first glance the very image of grandmotherly respectability, cruelly and with a great deal of premeditation, committed murder by poison, and with a particularly nasty poison too-yellow phosphorus. Her motive was pure avarice-not passion, not vengeance-and thus all the more horrific. The atmosphere of her trial, and the impression Mrs. Merrifield made under cross-examination are here brought back to life. Her trial was, as Mr. Lustgarten puts it "entirely satisfactory-by the right means it arrived at the right end".Students of forensic science will also find some enlightening passages about the action of yellow phosphorus upon the human body."

Title: The Trial of Mrs Maybrick - 1889 Author: Edgar Lustgarten Narrator: Edgar Lustgarten Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 31 minutes Release date: January 1, 1979 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: Edgar Lustgarten used to open his hugely popular True Crime BBC programme in the 1950s with the words "Have you ever murdered anyone?

Lustgarten's voice is austere but not without wit, gripping yet somehow addictive. The voice of a top Barrister presenting the facts of the case with the hangman's noose waiting silently in the shadows. "When I was a kid in the north of England, just after the First World War", says Edgar Lustgarten, "people still used to talk of Mrs. Maybrick-thirty years or so after her trial. But they generally stopped when they noticed a kid was in the room". Why they stopped; what scandalous element in the Maybrick story could not be properly discussed before a child; why that young woman was possibly the most tragic figure, and her trial probably the most unsatisfactory in our forensic annals-all these facets of a noted cause célèbre are explored with appropriate gravitas. Connoisseurs of advocacy may care to be reminded that Mrs. Maybrick was defended by Charles Russell (afterwards Lord Chief Justice as Lord Russell of Killowen), regarded by informed professional opinion as the greatest personality who has ever adorned the Bar."

The voice of a top Barrister presenting the facts of the case with the hangman's noose waiting silently in the shadows. "No case in criminal history has caused a more violent explosion of public wrath, says Edgar Lustgarten. So fierce was the detestation of the accused four that-wrote Edward Clarke QC, who defended one of them-when at the Old Bailey they were all found guilty of murder, those in court could hear 'the exultant shouts of the crowd which, although it was nearing midnight, still waited in the neighbouring streets'.The circumstances which touched off this outburst, both the events and the evidence-are recounted here in all their stark horror. So also is the remarkable sequel to the sentences of death, where a pressure group sought to interfere with the course of justice."

The voice of a top Barrister presenting the facts of the case with the hangman's noose waiting silently in the shadows. "The Brides-in-the-Bath case, with its bizarre details of the macabre was a sensation in 1915, says Edgar Lustgarten. Smith's trial contains several items of interest to specialists. To lawyers, a nice point concerning the admissibility of evidence. To students of human nature, the callousness and hypocrisy of the accused. But most of all-and this is of general interest-what stands out is the magnificent conduct of Marshall Hall of a defence that was absolutely hopeless. The question is often asked: What should defending counsel do when he believes his client is guilty? By example, the answer is demonstrated here."

"Norman Birkett was an advocate who was always happier when defending, says Edgar Lustgarten, but he did not flinch from appearing for the Crown. On such occasions he could be deadly but always scrupulously fair. Both characteristics were to the fore in the case of Alfred Arthur Rouse. Both by what he did and by what he refrained from doing, Birkett provided a model for all aspiring prosecutors. Whether the owner of that now legendary burnt-out car would have got away with murder against a less formidable opponent has been debated ever since his eventful trial."
