Now, the next day on August 25th, the jury deliberated for under two hours before returning to the courtroom to deliver a guilty verdict.

When the verdict was read, the crowd outside of the courtroom erupted in cheers of celebration.
podcast-host
Immediately the defense motioned for a mistrial, arguing that because of the spectator's behavior possibly intimidating the jury this entire time, Leo Frank hadn't had a fair trial.
podcast-host
The judge listened to the argument but denied the motion, arguing there was no way of knowing what the crowd was cheering for or whose side they were even on throughout the trial.
podcast-host
Well, and it's like not knowing what we know now, like obviously they're gonna cheer for somebody who like rapes and murders a thirteen year old girl to be put in jail.
podcast-host
But now knowing you're like fuck they were cheering 'cause they were racist.

Now the next day, Leo Frank returned to court where he was sentenced to death by hanging for the murder of Mary Fagan.
podcast-host
And when asked whether he had anything to say before being removed from the court, he said, Your Honor, I say now as I have always said, I am innocent.
podcast-host
Further than this is my uh further than this, my case is in the hands of my counsel.
podcast-host
Damn.

When all was said and done, Judge Roan set a date of October tenth, nineteen thirteen for execution, pending any appeals or intercession on Frank's behalf.
podcast-host
Now the announcement of Leo Frank's conviction divided residents of Atlanta and even as far away as Boston at the time.
podcast-host
Because we know what's up.
podcast-host
Uh, writing in The Jewish Advocate, the magazine editor called the conviction a quote, monstrous miscarriage of justice and implied a conspiracy on part of the police to frame the defendant.
podcast-host
The editor wrote, The only proven fact as developed by the evidence was that Mary Fagan was murdered in the pencil factory, of which Frank was the superintendent.
podcast-host
It was Jim Conley's evidence only that enabled the state to get the case to the jury.
podcast-host
Who knows what influence was brought to bear on Jim Conley?
podcast-host
Yeah.
podcast-host
Because it's like it came out of nowhere.
podcast-host
Yeah.
