The term '''show trial''' refers to a highly publicised and politically-motivated trial, in which the verdict is predetermined by the controlling political regime. Examples include the trials of alleged [[Trotskyist]]s and spies cartied out during the [[Great Purges]] of [[Stalin]], and the trials of the so-called plotters following the July 1944 attempt to assassinate [[Hitler]]. They existed as early as during the [[French Revolution]], more infamously the [[Reign of Terror]], with [[Thomas Paine]] briefly observing it.
