President Abraham Lincoln was shot on the night of April 14, 1865. He died the next day, 146 years ago today. This picture is from one of our digitized books on the trial of assassination conspirators.
We have twenty-two digitized items on our Lincoln and the Law site, many of which are books. The site is broken into three sections: Lincoln the Lawyer, Habeas Corpus and the War Powers of the President, and The Assassination: Trials. Kurt went into more detail on our Presidents Day post, Lincoln the Lawyer.
And if you are really interested, I hear there is a movie coming out this weekend called, what else, The Conspirator. The movie premiered recently at Ford’s Theatre.

If only the truth can be really found out for J.F.K. Because there are too many versions and no real explanations and some if not all the perpetrators are still alive destroying this country.
