No need to question this Lincoln conspirator’s guilt

[Pamela]

Susan,
You said, "I believe that most of Weichmann's testimony was truthful, but I suspect that after the trial, and especially after the executions, "consumed" with guilt, he needed to justify his actions to himself and may well have adjusted his memory accordingly--quite possibly unconsciously. Memory can perform remarkable gymnastics, particularly under stress.

Precisely what part of his testimony was untruthful (is that the same as lying on the witness stand?) and what was he "consumed" with guilt about? Your logic seems to be, because Weichmann was "consumed with guilt" (no reason given for this conclusion) he "may have "adjusted" his memory in a "remarkable"gymnastic sort of way in order to justify his actions to himself. So you understand Weichmann's thought processes? What were they?
