"What If John Wilkes Booth Went To Trial?"

[Laurie Verge]

Tom,

It's great to see you posting here (especially when you agree with me!). I just recommended your book, Beware The People Weeping, to a customer here at Surratt House the other day and realized that it's another one that I need to re-read.

Folks, I believe that I am correct in saying that Dr. Turner is the first professional historian to actually publish on the subject of the Lincoln assassination when he authored Beware...

And, to get back on thread, could the reading of Atzerodt's statement be part of an attempt to show that he was actually turning state's evidence against Booth and the others?
