In this episode Richland Source managing editor Larry Phillips and city editor Carl Hunnell compare and contrast the two most famous murder cases in Mansfield history. The Sternbaum trial was the subject of a four-part series that was published earlier this week on Richland Source. The murder of Leah Sternbaum took place on Dec. 4, 1952, and her husband Max was found not guilty on March 4, 1954 in what was known at the time as Ohio's Trial of the Century.

The Boyle trial may be much more familiar for those living in the community since 1990. Noreen Boyle was murdered on New Year's Eve, 1989, and her husband, Dr. John Boyle's murder trial took place the following spring. Unlike Max Sternbaum, who was found not guilty, Dr. Boyle is still serving his sentence in prison.
