Judicial Murder of Mrs. Surratt

[RJNorton]

The basic premise at the time of the staged readings was that the prosecution was intent on coercing Mrs. Surratt into telling them where to find her son, and she became hopelessly entangled in their dragnet. I don't know if that plot line has changed over the years.

Charlene Sloan, who plays the role of Mary, says, "Her love for her children is the driving force in her decision-making and her fate."

I'd be curious to see how the same actor (Nicholas Barta) portrays both Louis Weichmann and John Wilkes Booth.
