No need to question this Lincoln conspirator’s guilt

[Gene C]

Some good points Pamela. I like Weichmann too, enjoyed his book, which I haven't read in a long time. He was in a tough spot for a young man to be in.

Can you imagine if a similar crime of this magnitude occurred today, how long it would take it to get to trial, and how long the trial would last.
It surely wouldn't go as quickly as this one did, which has it's good and bad points. Stanton was accused of ramrodding this trial through, but in the long run, he may have done the country a big favor.
