Extremely insightful on how the court case was conducted in the 1960's. The majority of Sylvia's accusers were tried at the same time. The majority of Silvia's abusers were by Gertrude Baniszewski, her seven children, and several other neighborhood teenagers. At the time, it was considered one of the worst crimes ever perpetuated on a young teen in the State of Indiana.
