From journalist Amber Hunt and the Obsessed Network
At 3:00 am on April 27th, 1913, the body of 13 year old Mary Phagan was found in the basement of the factory where she worked in Atlanta, Georgia. Her dress was up around her waist and a strip from her petticoat had been torn off and wrapped around her neck.
Her face was blackened and scratched, and her head was bruised and battered. Almost immediately, the murder, and the mystery surrounding who would do such a horrible, brutal thing to a child, went the 1913 equivalent of viral.
When authorities finally landed on a suspect, their evidence was flimsy at best. The trial was a media spectacle and the outcome not only embedded this story in American history, but also sparked child labor laws.
Mình có lần lướt đọc mấy trao đổi trên mạng thì thấy nhắc tới hb88 trong lúc câu chuyện đang nói dở, nên cũng tò mò mở ra xem thử cho biết. Mình không tìm hiểu sâu, chỉ xem qua trong thời gian ngắn để quan sát bố cục và cách sắp xếp các mục nội dung tổng thể. Cảm giác là trình bày khá gọn, các phần rõ ràng nên đọc lướt cũng không bị rối, với mình như vậy là đủ để nắm thông tin cơ bản rồi.
