CRIMSON STAIN The Shocking True Story of the Only Amish Man Ever Convicted of Homicide

Paperback. On a cold, gray March evening near Mill Village, Pennsylvania, Edward Gingerich brutally murdered and mutilated his wife as their two children looked on in horror. It was an act of madness that shocked his small Amish community - and the nation. Edward Gingerich was never considered a typical Amish person. For all of his life, he had rebelled against the traditional ways of his family - showing signs of a vicious temper, bullying those smaller and weaker than he was, and socialising with outsiders to the community. Everyone knew he was a troubled man. But no one could have ever imagined the ghastly events that would occur - events that would make Edward Gingerich the only Amish man in history to be convicted of homicide.
