Throughout all of the investigations, they came down with one principle suspect. A Bronx carpenter by the name of Bruno Richard Hauptmann. He passed a $10 gold certificate at a gas station from the ransom money and this led to his subsequent arrest, trial and finally the death penalty. Ultimately, the police found about $14,000 or more of the ransom money at the
How Forests Think: Towards An Anthropology Beyond the Human by Eduardo Kohn and Pandora’s Hope: Essays on the Reality of Science Studies by Bruno Latour have an interesting dichotomy between what is considered alive (referred to by Kohn as a “self” and an “actant” for Latour), and what is not. It is important to note that Latour did not specifically refer to actants as being alive but they have agency, and this term is used in a similar manner to Kohn’s concept of selves.

This means 96 percent of people on death row are guilty and Richard Hauptmann’s one of those 96 percent (Huffington 1). Richard Hauptmann was convicted in the 1932 kidnapping and murder of the 20 month old son of Charles Lindbergh.
