Warning:
While there is no official consensus on Leo Frank's guilt or innocence and a plurality of perspectives is important when researching, please be warned that a number of groups use the trial for blatantly antisemitic purposes, and many of them appear on the first page of any Google search. If you're researching the case and aren't sure if you can trust a source, feel free to ask your dramaturg!
