{"product_id":"balance-of-justice","title":"Balance Of Justice","description":"A novel based on the fascinating life of one of Upstate New York's most remarkable women.In January of 1872, Josephine McCarty was indicted for murder in a shooting on a horse-drawn streetcar in Utica, New York. There were witnesses, and the common consensus was that the woman would hang. Then the governor of New York called a special term of court, and his attorney general sent a high-powered lawyer to aid the prosecution. Why? Perhaps the story was more complex than it appeared.This accounting of Josephine's life offers a window into another place in time, an era when flamboyant architecture and white-gloved manners masked a darker side of society. The facts brought forth in her trial reveal a woman of unfathomable courage struggling in a time when money and influence obliterated the line between villain and victim.","brand":"North Country Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54224951509336,"sku":"9781595310569","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781595310569.jpg?v=1761969611","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/balance-of-justice","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
