 Susannah Hill was tried on September 16 for Kotzwara's murder at the Old Bailey but was acquitted as the jury accepted her testimony about the nature of Kotzwara's death.The court records of the case were supposedly destroyed in order to avoid a public scandal, though it is likely that some kind of copy was made.It is believed that this copy was used to produce a pamphlet about the incident, including Hill's account of the event.
