A difference without a distinction, candy. The court let the case die because they didn’t want a trial that would expose disHonest Abe and his criminal government. Even northerners were realizing that Lincoln was wrong. When are you False Causers going to wake up from your fantasy past?
Why is it fascinating that Lee would be called as a witness? He was the commander of the Army of Northern Virginia and had spent a lot of time in Richmond as Davis’ right hand man. You False Causers desperately grasp and the slightest of little straws...........
BTW, you never did answer my question. Very telling.
Could you clarify what you mean when you say, "the court", pardner? Or is the above just "dicta"? Also, is there a precedent for posthumously charging someone with "War Crimes"? Poor Abe has been being raked over the coals ever since he was shot in the back of the head. Couldn't charges of war crimes as easily have been brought against any of the "co-conspirators" in your imaginary criminal government of Lincoln's?

When Davis was arrested, it was because President Johnson (a Southerner, specifically picked by mr Bad Guy Lincoln as his new vice-president) put out a bounty for his arrest as a suspect in the plot to assassinate Lincoln. That is why Davis was arrested by the military and held in chains in a dungeon by the military to await a military court trial. As the true facts of just who was involved in the assassination came to light, Davis was delivered after two years into the hands of the public court system. As we know, it ended up in the US Supreme Court, where the Double Jeopardy (Davis had already been punished by Amendment 14) option was applied and the case dismissed (by the SCOTUS). You don't find it fascinating that Robert E Lee was involved? It was news to me. Perhaps I misunderstood that you were meaning to imply that Davis' case was summarily thrown out, without going to court because it would have proved Lincoln a War Criminal.

And just what, pray tell, does that verily tell you? My first intention was to give you the "silent treatment". Could you tell? But I couldn't keep it going. Sorry sweetheart, could you please repeat the question?
