After you listen to the events that led up to Lincoln’s assassination, her involvement with John Wilkes Booth and the other conspirators, her arrest, her own testimony and others at the military trial, you can decide for yourself. Will you agree with the American boarding house owner when she says, "I should not have died on July 7, 1865. I was innocent."
