Thanks for this.
Decapitating the Union contains an entire chapter on Mrs. Surratt (Chapter 5). It lays out the inculpatory and exculpatory evidence of the charges against her, analyzes the same and concludes that she was in fact guilty. There is much more evidence of her guilt than Herold's statement, though his statement does sum it up rather neatly. After reading the chapter, Laurie said she could have written it herself.
