My understanding is that Burr's commanding officer was the same General Lee that Washington courtmartialed with a bank of officers named Lafayette, Hamilton, jefferson, and someone else whose name escapes me.

Just for the sake of personal honor he'd probably shot all of them if he could have gotten away with it.

If there are corrections, note them somewhere.

After a thorough search all I could find of Lee’s court martial is that Lord Stirling presided, with both prosecuting officers and defendants lawyers listed as unknown.

That’s rather muddled - Jefferson was never an officer under Washington (and in any case seems to be at Monticello at the time) , Hamilton was a witness at the court martial. Not sure if Lafayette was on the court martial but I doubt it since he was under Lee’s command on the day. Burr certainly supported Lee although I’m not sure if Lee was his commanding officer (Burr actually distinguished himself in the battle)
