What if a single broken doll was the only thing standing between a teenage girl and the man who destroyed her childhood? He Broke My Doll: The Sensational Case of Catherine Denino takes us to 1926 New York, where sixteen-year-old Catherine waited nine hours outside a Bronx barbershop and shot Luigi Fino dead as he walked out. Standing over his body, she laughed bitterly and said, "He broke my doll." That doll was Catherine herself—a girl who was assaulted at twelve by the man she called cousin, threatened into silence, and then blackmailed years later when she had finally built a happy life with her husband. The killing sparked a media frenzy, drew support from millionaire Harry K. Thaw, and ended with a manslaughter plea because the judge was certain no jury would ever convict her of murder.
