Henriette Caillaux, a Parisian socialite and second wife of the former French prime minister Joseph Caillaux, shot and killed Gaston Calmette, the editor of the newspaper Le Figaro. Caillaux believed that Calmette was about to publish love letters that her husband had written to her while he was still married to his first wife. She feared that this would ruin her husband's reputation and political career. Caillaux's trial was highly publicized and controversial. Some people argued that she should be found guilty of murder, while others argued that she should be acquitted on the grounds of a crime passionnel, or a crime of passion. In the end, Caillaux was acquitted by a jury of her peers. - Extent
