Temporary insanity was the defense’s argument and the jury acquitted the accused Lieutenant, who was admitted to the state asylum for just under a month before he was released. The defense attorney and Michigan local, John Voelker, subsequently published an account of the murder trial in 1957, which quickly sold 300,000 copies, fascinating readers enough that it was optioned for, and made into, a film by Otto Preminger. James Stewart, Lee Remick, Ben Gazzara starred, and Duke Ellington produced the score, in this 1959 drama in which Stewart won the Volpi Cup Award, Faro Island Film Festival Award, and more, for Best Actor. It was proclaimed as Preminger’s most popular film and went on to be nominated numerous times for various awards, winning half!</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;">Enter Eugene Milhizer: Author, Law Professor and former Army Judge Advocate. Milhizer explores many ethical and legal issues that Voelker discretely raised in his novel and which were then featured in the film. Some of these include the impact of the community on the trial and verdict, the proper role of a jury, and to what capacity our criminal justice system is able to achieve real justice when it comes to our long-established legal precedents and rules of law.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;">Eugene Milhizer will present on the legal intricacies in Voelker’s account of this trial at the Northville District Library (NDL) on Tuesday, July 26 at 7 PM in the Carlo Meeting Room.

He then taught at the Judge Advocate General’s School at the University of Virginia and the Ave Maria School of Law. He is now the President and Dean at the Ave Maria School of Law. Milhizer has also been published in several prestigious law journals and presented at law schools, and now libraries, across the country.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;">For more information, please visit Northville District Library’s website at: northvillelibrary.org; or telephone the Library at 248-349-3020.
