In 1931 HawaiÂ'i, Thalia Massie, the aristocratic wife of a naval officer, accused five nonwhite men of gang rape. When the trial ended in a hung jury, ThaliaÂ's mother arranged for one of the suspects to be murdered—an act sanctioned by sympathetic whites as an “honor killing.” The ensuing murder trial, Clarence DarrowÂ's last, enthralled the nation and exposed the shocking realities of a Hawaiian “paradise.” This is the riveting story behind one of the pivotal scandals of American history.
