The Shocking Murder of Lucy Pollard and the Women Condemned to Die (Virginia, 1895)

In June 1895, Lucy Jane Pollard was found murdered on her family's prosperous farm in Lunenburg County, Virginia. What followed was one of the most controversial criminal cases in Southern history, as three Black defendants were sentenced to death based largely on conflicting testimony before the Virginia Supreme Court overturned key convictions. This historical true crime documentary examines the murder of Lucy Pollard, the case of the "Lunenburg Women," Solomon Marable's role in the investigation, and the dramatic legal battle that exposed serious flaws in the original prosecution. #LucyPollard #TrueCrime #HistoricalTrueCrime
