RE: Vicarious liability and such
Davey tried to make that argument as well, Herb. While it was admirable that all the lawyers tried to get separate trials for their defendants as so many only knew of the kidnapping scheme, there was no way that was going to work. The commission was out for blood, and if you put yourself in their mind-set, it is understandable. Had they focused more on the kidnapping, wouldn’t Booth’s diary have been taken into account?
Now, I could be wrong about the lawyers argument as I am the Queen of “I know I read that somewhere but can’t remember where”!
