Before the O.J. trial. Before the Casey Anthony trial. Before the trial of the Manson Family. Even before the trials of the Lindbergh baby kidnapping and the custody battle over little Gloria Vanderbilt, there was another trial that captivated the entire nation which was one of the earliest criminal cases of the 20th century to be endowed with the term "the trial of the century."

Before the O.J. trial. Before the Casey Anthony trial. Before the trial of the Manson Family. Even before the trials of the Lindbergh baby kidnapping and the custody battle over little Gloria Vanderbilt, there was another trial that captivated the entire nation which was one of the earliest criminal cases of the 20th century to be endowed with the term "the trial of the century." That being the Trial of Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle in 1921 which many have erroneously come to know as "Hollywood's First Sex Scandal." Unlike the other trials listed above that caught America's attention, the trial of Fatty Arbuckle had no guilty verdict, nor did it have any guilty parties for that matter. This criminal case which was front page news in every newspaper around the country wasn't even based in an actual crime. The entire court room circus was a sham based in rumor, hear-say, and fabricated lies where it was eventually discovered no one did anything wrong yet nearly everyone involved with the case's prosecution willingly desecrated such notions as "Justice" and "Fair Trial" if only to sustain the sensationalism which fueled this precedent of injustice.Another erroneous assumption attached to this case is despite the accused being acquitted and read a letter of written apology by the court, there are those who believe Fatty Arbuckle actually was guilty of the accusations made against him and they still subscribe to this woefully wrong opinion right through to the current day. In this wholly unique book, renowned astrologer Brad Kronen pieces together the events which brought about one of the very first of the 20th century's "trials of a century" and analyzes the case using his knowledge of History, Ethics, Silent Film & Early Hollywood, and of course, Astrology.With modern society experiencing long overdue changes to its core structure as evidenced by the emergence of such groups as the "Me Too Movement" it's imperative for us in the present day to collectively be aware of this precedent of injustice to ensure it will never be repeated in our unfolding future.
