Lincoln's non pardon

[If Booth wore a uniform to the theater he could have surrendered and would have been considered a POW not an assassin.]// quote

But how Jerry, when Booth and just about everyone else knew that Robert E. Lee had accepted an unconditional surrender almost a week previous? The war was over.

I don't agree that Booth could have achieved POW status if he'd worn a uniform and surrendered. He would still have been considered exactly what he is today-the actor who assassinated Abraham Lincoln. Not to mention that his chances of entering Ford's Theatre in a Confederate uniform would have been slim and none on April 14 1865.
