The History of Murder

When Lincoln Defended A Killer: The Story of Peachy Quinn Harrison


Listen Later

The stakes were high – and not just for the young man on trial for murder. But also for his defense attorney, Abraham Lincoln. Not only did he know both the victim and the killer, but the case marked the only time the full trial would be written down and published for everyone to see. One major slip could lead to the gallows for his client and end his hopes for the presidency.  Listen to the true crime documentary that featured a future president.
