Plot -
Bizarre was the actual name of young Richard Randolph’s isolated plantation on the Appomattox. Living with him in 1792 were his wife and cousin, Judith; her seventeen year old sister, Nancy; and his own stripling brother, John, famous later as Randolph of Roanoke. 

Ugly rumors traveled fast. Nancy had born a child never seen after its birth night. By spring, Virginia was in turmoil over the scandal and Richard and Nancy were tried for infanticide. They were defended by two of the greatest living lawyers, the aging Patrick Henry and the youthful John Marshall. 

Not surprisingly, they were acquitted but that verdict was not the end.
