Mary Surratt and John Lloyd

[RJNorton]

I have a hypothetical to ask the members. Let's imagine the following scenario: as Booth and Herold ride off, John Lloyd has a massive heart attack and dies in the wee hours of April 15, 1865.

He never gives any statements, testimony at the trial...nada.

Assume ALL other testimony is the same as what really took place.

Only no John Lloyd.

Given this scenario, what would the Military Commission have decided regarding Mary Surratt's fate?

A. She still would have been hanged.
B. She would have been given life.
C. She would have been given a much lighter sentence - maybe along the lines of Spangler's.
D. She would have been found not guilty.
