Västmanland, winter 1841. At the tenant farm of Bjärby in Sankt Ilian parish, the tenant farmer Johan Scherlund died of the injuries inflicted on him by his farmhand.

A real case from Swedish legal history: the same investigation, the same verdict, and the same execution. Everyone involved has been dead for more than a century, and everything in the file comes from public records — the sources accompany the case.
