{"product_id":"9781595310569","title":"The Balance of Justice: The Utica Streetcar Murder of 1872","description":"In January of 1872, Josephine McCarty was indicted for murder in a shooting on a horse-drawn streetcar in Utica, New York. There were witnesses, and the common consensus was that the woman would hang. Then the governor of New York called a special term of court, and his attorney general sent a high-powered lawyer to aid the prosecution. Why? \u003cbr\u003ePerhaps the story was more complex than it appeared. This accounting of Josephine’s life offers a window into another place in time, an era when flamboyant architecture and white-gloved manners masked a darker side of society. The facts brought forth in her trial reveal a woman of unfathomable courage struggling in a time when money and influence obliterated the line between villain and victim.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"North Country Books, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50097131356400,"sku":"9781595310569","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781595310569","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
