Has anyone else looked into the trial of Farmer Taylor? It's troubling to think that he was found not guilty, especially after his direct involvement in taking the life of Norton R. Moody. I can’t even begin to imagine how Mrs. Cora Moody and their children must have felt after the verdict. It’s like they had to endure not just the loss of their loved one, but also the frustration of seeing someone walk free after such a grievous act. Justice seems to have slipped away here, and I wonder what the public sentiment was like back then, given how close-knit communities tended to be. The early 1900s legal systems sure had its challenges, but it’s hard not to think about how this case might have been ruled differently today. If anyone has more insight or any newspaper clippings from the time, I'd love to learn more about how people reacted to the trial outcome.
