Accused murderers Libbie and Albert Olson with Ben Silverman, Los Angeles, 1932

Description:
On October 8, 1932, Charles H. Scull was shot and killed. Libbie and Albert Olson were accused of murdering Scull over a potentially new will, which would remove the Olsons as primary beneficiaries. While originally found guilty, they appealed and a panel of judges determined the evidence presented was insufficient and ordered a new trial. In January 1933, the Olsons were acquitted.

Doris Dazey's death was originally believed to be suicide by monoxide poisoning. However, witnesses claimed that Dr. Dazey had been boasting about committing the "perfect crime" and a night watchman testified to witnessing Dazey carry a woman's body from the house to the garage on the night of the murder. Other factors complicating the trial were the paternity of Doris and George Dazey's child, Doris Dazey's possible mental illness, and false testimonies from some of the witnesses. Dr. Dazey was ultimately acquitted of the crime.
