And he needed a young virgin to find it. Juliette Deitsh, poor, immigrant, and 12 years old, never stood a chance. In 1889, she was found dead from an overdose of chloroform in bed next to a distraught Deschamps. The deranged doctor’s heinous act made the legal authorities confront the question: Should the clearly insane Deschamps be executed for his crime? This incisive examination of the murder, trials, and conclusions invites readers to rethink this famous case.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arcadia Publishing SC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47143395524848,"sku":"9781455621965","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781455621965_p0.jpg?v=1763861317","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781455621965","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
