Before O.J., before Menendez, before every “trial of the century”
that would follow—there was Harry K. Thaw. The millionaire playboy
who gunned down famed architect Stanford White in front of hundreds
of witnesses at Madison Square Garden. His crime? Passion.
Jealousy. Madness. Or maybe all three.
In this Crimes & Consequences episode, we take you inside the
scandal that rocked the Gilded Age: a love triangle dripping in
sex, secrets, and society’s hypocrisy. From Thaw’s obsession with
showgirl Evelyn Nesbit to the shocking courtroom circus that
defined American media’s hunger for spectacle—this is where tabloid
true crime was born.
