Publisher's Synopsis
Before the O.J. trial. Before the Casey Anthony trial. Before the trial of the Manson Family. Even before the cases of the Lindbergh baby kidnapping and the custody battle over little Gloria Vanderbilt, there were legal proceedings that captivated the nation's attention that was one of the earliest criminal cases of the 20th century to be endowed with the term "the trial of the century".The 1921 Trial of Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle.Unlike the other trials listed above that caught America's attention, the trial of Fatty Arbuckle had no guilty verdict. This court room circus was a sham based in rumor, hear-say, and fabricated lies with nearly all parties involved with the case's prosecution making a mockery of such notions as "Justice" and "Truth" if only to sustain the sensationalism which fueled this precedent of injustice.In this wholly unique book, renowned astrologer Brad Kronen pieces together the events which brought about one of the very first of the 20th century's "trials of a century" "and analyzes the case using his knowledge of History, Ethics, Silent Film & Early Hollywood, and of course Astrology.With modern society experiencing long overdue changes to its core structure as evidenced by the emergence of such groups as the "Me Too Movement" it's imperative for us in the modern day to collectively be aware of this precedent of injustice to ensure it will never be repeated in our unfolding future.
