If you have ever wanted to hear the Leo Frank trial testimony as an audiobook, this is now available.
The complete Leo Frank Trial Brief of Evidence from 1913 has been fully uploaded to Minds.com and can be viewed for free with a basic Minds account. The archive is hosted on the Crime Time Capsule channel at www.minds.com/crimetimecapsule.
This release contains the entire official Trial Brief of Evidence from July through August 1913, as presented in the Fulton County Superior Court Annex in Atlanta, Georgia. The full record has been published as 202 narrated transcript clipping videos, preserving the courtroom testimony and proceedings exactly as they were entered into the trial record. Together, these materials form one of the most complete and unfiltered primary sources available for understanding the Leo Frank case as it unfolded in real time.
You can access the full archive here: Crime Time Capsule on Minds, www.minds.com/crimetimecapsule.
The content is free to view, but a free Minds account is required to see all 202 segments.
Minds was selected deliberately. In the past, whenever newly transcribed Leo Frank legal records were published on independent websites, those sites were repeatedly disrupted by denial of service attacks and attempted intrusions. Servers were taken offline, access was blocked, and content was interfered with. These incidents made it clear that keeping the trial record publicly available requires distribution across platforms that value open access and resilience.
When people are allowed to examine the original testimony, evidence, and arguments without filters or summaries, they are free to reach their own conclusions. Historically, jurors in 1913 and the Georgia Supreme Court in 1914 concluded that the evidence presented at trial was sufficient to support Leo Frank’s conviction. Making the full record accessible allows modern readers to evaluate that evidence for themselves.
To protect the archive and ensure long term access, the project now emphasizes decentralization. Trial documents, transcripts, audiobooks, and clipping videos are distributed across free speech oriented platforms rather than relying on a single site. Minds provides a stable environment where the complete Brief of Evidence can remain available without interruption.
The testimony phase of the trial ran from Monday, July 28, 1913, through Thursday, August 21, 1913. Closing arguments began on August 21 and concluded at midday on August 25. That same afternoon, the jury returned a unanimous guilty verdict. On August 26, 1913, Judge Leonard Strickland Roan formally affirmed the verdict and sentenced Leo Max Frank to death by hanging. Appeals followed and extended the case for nearly two years.
Anyone interested in studying the trial firsthand can watch all 202 narrated segments by visiting Crime Time Capsule on Minds at www.minds.com/crimetimecapsule. A free Minds account is required to access the full archive.
This release represents one of the most thorough public presentations of the trial’s primary evidence to date. Its purpose is preservation, transparency, and independent examination, free from selective quotation or suppression.
