A famous murder trial ended with two acquittals. The homicide itself never received a final legal answer.

In late June 1964, financier Jacques Mossler was killed in his Key Biscayne apartment. His wife, Candace Mossler, and her nephew, Melvin Lane Powers, were later charged with his murder and tried together in Florida. On March 6, 1966, a jury acquitted them both. In the record examined for this book, no other person was subsequently convicted of Jacques Mossler's killing. That unresolved distance between a courtroom verdict and an answer to the homicide drives A Pattern of Doubt.
