Leo Frank
This is what you find when you Google Leo Frank, the first thing to come up. From Wikipedia:
Leo Max Frank (April 17, 1884 – August 17, 1915) was a Jewish-American factory superintendent whose murder conviction and extrajudicial hanging in 1915 by a lynch mob planned and led by prominent citizens in Marietta, Georgia, drew attention to questions of antisemitism in the United States.[2] He was posthumously pardoned in 1986 which the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles stated was "in an effort to heal old wounds," without addressing the question of guilt or innocence.[3]
An engineer and superintendent of the National Pencil Company in Atlanta, Frank was convicted on August 25, 1913, of the murder of one of his factory workers, 13-year-old Mary Phagan. She had been strangled on April 26 and was found dead in the factory cellar the next morning. Frank was the last person known to have seen her alive, and there were allegations that he had flirted with her before. His trial became the focus of powerful class, regional, and political interests. Raised in New York, he was cast as a representative of Yankee capitalism, a rich northern Jew lording it over vulnerable working women, as the historian Albert Lindemann put it. Former U.S. Representative Thomas E. Watson later used sensational coverage of the appeal process, one year after the trial, in his own publications, calling Frank a member of the Jewish aristocracy who had pursued "Our Little Girl" to a hideous death. During the trial, Frank and his lawyers resorted to stereotypes, accusing another suspect — Jim Conley, a black factory worker who testified against Frank — of being especially disposed to lying and murdering because of his race.[4]

Yikes. I did not know any of that. Well, that makes that combo rather unfortunate.

did I see it on Lifetime in the late nineties?
I seem to remember I did, or at least saw a preview of it, which seems more likely since I usually only watched Lifetime for the Unsolved Mysteries reruns. (Side note: Robert Stack gave me the creeps, kind of, because of his sonorous voice and how his mouth barely moved; in fact I had a high school teacher who barely moved his lips when he talked and I always thought of him as Robert Stack.)
