Question: Who is put on trial in the movie Miracle on 34th Street?

Answer:

Santa Claus. Miracle on 34th Street was originally released in 1947. The part of Santa was played by Edmund Gwenn and apparently so convincingly that Natalie Wood's biographer wrote that Natalie believed he was the real Santa until she saw him out of costume at the wrap party for the film.
