Case file to compliment lesson of murder case investigation lesson https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/machinal-murder-case-lesson-12261507 Collated evidence of pictures and articles of the real Ruth Snyder murder trial.

This lesson is designed for you to set up a crime scene of the real murder case of Albert Snyder, done by Ruth Snyder and Judd Gray. This is the case that Sophie Treadwell based the story of Machinal on. Students have to investigate the crime scene and collate the evidence on the whiteboard using the presentation. This is designed to spark their interest and get them to learn through discovery. I usually do this at the end of year 12. In addition to setting up the crime scene, there is another resource of evidence from the real case.
