I'll bet money almost all of you missed this
On the evening of May 9, General John Hantranft visited each prisoner's cell to read the charges and specifications against them. Hantranft later wrote: "I had the hood [of each prisoner] removed, entered the cell alone with a lantern, delivered the copy, and allowed them time to read it, and in several instances, by request read the copy to them, before replacing the hood."
was Mary Surratt hoodwinked during the trial
was she allowed to testify in her own behalf?
was she or her counsel allowed to cross examine witnesses?
you need to check the details of that trial before you celebrate it
it sure stinks of scapegoating and a kangaroo trial
