"Who is Guilty?" is an episodic radiocast produced by the Yiddish Book Center and read by Eleanor Reissa. These recordings are based on newspaper reporter Sarah B. Smith’s serialized pieces which covered New York city's courtrooms. Due to the space constraints of a newspaper column, each story had to be short, and as Dan Setzer, the translator notes, Smith had to paint her characters with a few deft master strokes to make us see them as whole individuals. "Who is Guilty?" was published in Yiddish in New York by Literature Publishers in 1919.
