The case captured widespread attention and became a major media sensation at the time. Bruno Richard Hauptmann was accused, tried, and convicted for his alleged involvement in the crime.In 1934, Hauptmann was arrested after a marked bill from the ransom money used in the kidnapping was traced to him. He was charged with extortion, kidnapping, and murder. The trial, which took place in 1935, garnered intense public interest and was heavily covered by the media. Hauptmann's defense maintained his innocence, claiming that he had no knowledge of the crime and that the ransom money had been given to him unknowingly.Despite his defense's arguments, Hauptmann was found guilty of first-degree murder and kidnapping. He was sentenced to death and executed in the electric chair on April 3, 1936.
