		1935 — Trial of Bruno Hauptmann for the Lindbergh kidnapping
		1951 — Espionage trial of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg
		Because so many trials have been considered "trials of the century" throughout the 20th (and even into the 21st) centuries, the title is often used in a somewhat tongue in cheek fashion.

	Trial of the Century: How the Scopes Trial Framed the Modern Debate over Science and Religion (L.A. Times): Gaffney ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Every decade or so America produces a "trial of the century." My favorite candidate for this overused epithet is not the recent O.J. Simpson trial but the trial of the leaders of the Third Reich at Nuremberg in 1945.
		A trial that comes close to meriting the designation "trial of the century," at least for its lasting impact on American culture, took place in Dayton, Tenn., in 1925.
		Thanks to this century's stunning breakthroughs in physics and biology, the contemporary approach to the origins of the universe and of life is much more complex and interesting than the mechanical determinism embedded within Darwinism.

	The Trial of the Century: The ICTY Trial of Slobodan Milosevic \| Carl Savich \| Columns \| Serbianna.com
		The trial of former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic at the Hague Tribunal was supposed to be “the trial of the century”, a landmark case vindicating international justice.
		But the “trial of the century” has become the travesty of the century, a travesty of justice and fair-play and an attack on common sense.
		The Slobodan Milosevic trial at The Hague may be dubbed the “trial of the century” in US propaganda but there is a total news flout of the trial in the US media.

	Trial of the Century?
		The Hauptmann "Lindbergh Kidnapping" Trial was called at the time "the greatest story since the Resurrection." It WAS a great story, involving the greatest hero of our century, every parent's worst nightmare, and a first-rate whodunit complete with ransom money passed in dark cemeteries and witnesses that could hardly be dreamt up in Hollywood.
		The Scopes Trial brought together America's greatest defense attorney, Clarence Darrow, its greatest political orator and a sort of Fundamentalist Pope, three-time presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan, and its greatest and most acerbic journalist, H. Mencken....Johnnie Cochran, Marcia Clark, Geraldo Rivera.
		The Scopes Trial produced what the New York Times called "the most amazing courtroom scene in Anglo-American history," the calling of prosecutor William Jennings Bryan to the stand by Clarence Darrow for examination on the question of whether every story in the Bible was literally true.

	D-Brief, March 2005--Trial of the Century
		The Lindbergh Kidnapping trial contained all the elements needed to catch and hold the public's attention: a baby was kidnapped and murdered, the child's parents were arguably the most famous couple on earth, and the accused was a down-and-out and somewhat surly immigrant.
		By the time of the trial, hundreds of reporters had converged on the courthouse with over 200 in the courtroom on any given day.
		Shortly after the trial, the ABA passed Canon 35 of the old Canons of Judicial Ethics prohibiting the use of cameras in courtrooms.

	COURTTV.COM - TRIALS - Sin City's trial of the century, take two
		In a split decision, the state's highest court threw out murder, burglary and robbery verdicts reached in the 2000 trial of Binion's live-in girlfriend, former stripper Sandy Murphy, and her married paramour Rick Tabish, ruling that errors by a judge prejudiced jurors against the defendant.
		He and Herb Sachs, Murphy's current lawyer, said the 31-year-old, now serving a minimum 22-year sentence, was thrilled with the success of her appeal and eager to be released on bail.
		During the trial, prosecutors suggested Binion had discovered Murphy's affair with his acquaintance Tabish and was about to cut her off financially.

		The trial was to be a grand affair and bring fame and fortune to the small town.
		But as John Crowe Ransom notes, there were a series of tensions throughout the trial, including questions of collective vs. individual rights and academic vs. parental concerns, which have persisted in American culture since the birth of the nation (8).
		To Ransom, the trial was a product of "the modernist-fundamentalist conflict of the period." As R.M.Cornelius wrote in "Their Stage Drew All the World," "This controversy, whose stage was the battle over the nature of the bible, produced a whole cycle of dramatic confrontations, of which the Scopes trial was but one"(9).

		One of the first great trials of the century was that of Harry Thaw, who murdered Sandford White, the architect of Madison Square Garden.
		The actual trials in thsoe cases (and some of them may not even have involved trials) were not particularly memorable.
		This might not be the trial of the century, but it might epitomize what America in the 20th century was (and still is) about: money equals speech (or any other right you want to insert here).

		That building, of course, housed the famous Monkey Trial, the place where rural traditionalism met and finally bowed to the forces of urban secularism.
		The days surrounding the trial found Dayton swamped with hundreds of reporters, its streets bedecked, carnival-like, with concession stands, toy monkeys, and the bookstands and soapboxes for opportunists of all stripes.
		However, the nineteenth-century assumptions that eventually led to the trial are traced in Theodore Dwight Bozeman's Protestants in an Age of Science (1977).

		Just a little over a week ago, media pundits were preparing us for Trial of the Century and by that they meant the trial of Michael Jackson on child molestation charges.

		The trial unearthed a lot of unpleasant truths: That a certain group of Hungarian Jewish leaders had bargained for the survival of a few "VIPs" while a half-million other Jews were sent to Auschwitz; that many Jews of the pioneer state in Palestine saw the Holocaust as a sign of weakness in the Diaspora.
		Yablonka says the trial illuminated the stresses in the Israeli fabric, leading to a stronger nation.

	The Winslow Boy, Trial of the Century? by Robert Waring
		As with many high profile trials, the passage of time has faded the importance of the fate of the litigants and their legal issues.
		Their debates on the subject provide a metaphorical tension between the old ways of the recently passed nineteenth century and change promised by the newly entered twentieth.
		The uneasy juxtaposition of nineteenth and twentieth century sensibilities is best illustrated by the cigarette-smoking suffragists who crowd the women's spectator galleries overlooking the House of Lords, while peers debate the Winslow case in the sanctity of their males-only club.

		Geragos defended movie star Winona Ryder in her widely reported shoplifting trial last year and is now representing Scott Peterson, a California man accused of killing his pregnant wife and unborn son on Christmas eve.
		Columnist Rutten noted that while several sensational cases - notably the kidnapping and murder of aviator Charles Lindbergh's baby in 1927 - had led to "trials of the century" since the 19th century, the media coverage of them was not nearly as pervasive as it became in the age of live television.

		Although the trial was over John Scopes’ illegal teaching of evolution in a public school in Tennessee, it was actually Christianity that was on trial because of the shrewd lawyering tactics of pro-evolutionary ACLU attorney, Clarence Darrow.
		More than one historian has declared that the 1925 trial was a turning point in the influence of the evangelical church in America.
		Today, secular humanists are using the Scopes trial as a weapon to attack Christianity as a religion of blind faith—one that is unscientific and irrational.
