Type of trial - Debate

[tblunk]

Was the area still under martial law? Does that make a difference in using the military to pursue and apprehend?
They probably should have been tried in a civilian court. But it wasn't until after the war that that was made clear by the Supreme Court in regards to a case from Indiana, I believe. If Lincoln had been alive, he might have insisted on a civilian trial. Didn't he instruct Burnside to use civilian courts in Ohio?
