It could be said that the Joe Hill murder trial rates as one of the
most important trials in Utah's history. Hill, a prolific Labor
Union songwriter, was accused of murdering a Salt Lake City
shopkeeper and his son during a robbery in 1914. In Pie in the Sky,
author and trial lawyer Kenneth Lougee analyzes this case and
explains the errors that were committed during the trial, which
resulted in Hill's guilty verdict and subsequent execution.
Interested in more than Hill's guilt or innocence, Lougee provides
a thorough discussion of the case-including Hill's background with
the Industrial Workers of the World, the political and religious
climate in Utah at the time, the particulars of the trial, and the
failings of the legal process. In this analysis, Lougee focuses on
those involved in the trial, most especially the lawyers, which he
describes in the text as the worst pieces of lawyering of all time.
Pie in the Sky presents a breakdown of this case from a lawyer's
perspective and shows why this trial is still a matter of interest
in the twenty-first century.
