    Episode 8: The bomb, the boss and the Jesuit
    (Creighton University, 2023-04-26) Davis, Rick||Mertes,Micah
    The story of Creighton's Jesuit astronomer Fr. William Rigge, SJ, who — in 1910 and 1911 — became one of the first expert witnesses in an American criminal trial. Using a shadow in a photograph, Fr. Rigge helped an Omaha attorney (and Creighton parent) exonerate a man charged with planting a bomb on the front porch of Omaha crime boss Tom Dennison. This episode's got it all. See photos and headlines of and about the bomb, the boss, the Jesuit and the shadow.
