Roland Burnham Molineux was the defendant at the center of a historic legal case in the state of New York. He was tried as a suspected murderer in a case that drew significant attention at the turn of the twentieth century.
The legal proceedings against him resulted in the landmark decision People v. Molineux, 168 N.Y. 264, handed down by the Court of Appeals of New York in 1901. This ruling established critical precedents concerning the trial of suspected murderers and remains a highly influential case in American jurisprudence.
