Summary of the 1913 Leo Frank Trial Brief of Evidence This 388-page PDF is the Brief of the Evidence prepared for the Supreme Court of Georgia following Leo M. Frank’s conviction in Fulton County Superior Court. It is neither a later historical narrative nor a judicial opinion. It is a condensed record of the trial, containing an extensive alphabetical index, witness testimony, cross-examinations, rebuttal evidence, affidavits, documentary exhibits, factory diagrams, photographs, and Frank’s lengthy unsworn statement. Its purpose was to preserve the evidentiary record for appellate review.
