| Summary | "Trial of William Palmer" by George H. Knott is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative focuses on the infamous trial of William Palmer, a surgeon accused of poisoning John Parsons Cook in 1855. The book delves into the legal proceedings, the key players involved, and the complex medical and circumstantial evidence presented during the trial. The opening of this account sets the stage for a riveting legal drama that unfolded over twelve days in 1856 at the Central Criminal Court in London. It begins with an introduction to the trial's background, highlighting Palmer's tumultuous personal and financial life leading up to the murder of Cook. The text reveals details about Palmer's relationships, his racing activities, and his struggles with moneylenders that provide a sinister context for the murder. As the narrative introduces key witnesses and the nature of the evidence against Palmer, it promises a thorough exploration of the courtroom dynamics and the moral ambiguities surrounding the case.
