The trial of Joseph Spell, State of Connecticut v. Joseph Spell, was a 1940 legal case in which an African-American chauffeur was accused of raping Eleanor Strubing, a wealthy white woman who was his boss. The accusations and trial made sensational headlines. Spell was represented by Samuel Friedman and future US Supreme Court justice Thurgood Marshall. The case is featured in the 2017 film Marshall. Spell, who was African-American, worked as a chauffeur for a wealthy white woman named Eleanor Strubing. After 17 hours of questioning, Spell confessed to being intimate with her, but (contrary to police accounts) said that he had never confessed to raping her. The jury in 1940 ruled him not guilty of rape.
