Question by BeautifulPoision Reward: Log in to view Status: Pending a resolution
My great grandmother was convicted of murder. A man wrote a book about her. Would he not have to ask the families permission in order to gain rights to the story?

Not at all. Writing a book about a criminal can not be considered copyright infringement in any way. It is well within the author's rights.
