“She was guilty...................”

Possibly but we will never know for sure because of the botched prosecution.

The defendants were not allowed to meet with defense attorneys until three days before trial, the emotional gamit of trying to tie yellow fever deaths to a supposed Confederate plot to distribute tainted clothing, the government's failure to introduce Booth's diary, the use of a military tribunal instead of civilian courts, and the prohibition on allowing defendants the right to testify on their own behalf.

The trial reminds me of the kangaroo courts that were cooked up to get Trump.

The waving of the bloody shirt would not peak until the radicals controlling the government adopted the ill-compounded and hastily written homosexual marriage amendment in 1868.
