Lullaby for Morons

0 - Default Title
Description
In 1914, many people in America were being wrongly diagnosed as "morons". Most were committed to asylums. Some committed suicide. Two were childhood friends who became involved in the tragedy of America's first school teacher murder in Poland, New York. The ensuing trial was held in the same Herkimer courthouse as the Gillette-Brown murder case. The trial, which focused on the violent nature of the crime and the "degenerate" behavior of the defendant, quickly eclipsed the Adirondack murder as Upstate New York's "Trial of the Century." Fast-paced and suspenseful, anchored in historical fact, Lullaby For Morons takes us into a dark age of medical and legal thinking and the even darker paranoid world of misdiagnosed victims struggling to survive.
