The Trial of the Century

The Lindbergh trial is considered by many legal scholars to be “The Trial of the Century.”  After the trial, the American Bar Association, shocked by the media circus that resulted from the trial, banned cameras in the courtroom.  This lasted for decades.  In New York, it was very rare to see cameras in courtrooms 15-20 years ago.  It really is a recently-accepted practice in New York.  Do you agree that the Lindbergh trial should be considered “The Trial of the Century?”  If not, what case in the 1900’s is?  Why?  Explain your response substantively. (If you use a source, cite it in proper APA 7 format.)
