Lincoln's last trial : the murder case that… door Dan Abrams
interesting slice of lincolns life, basicallya transcript of the trial with a few anecdotes thrown in. sheds a little light on legal history in areas like self defense, deathbed testimony and hearsay
Clearly much research went into this book but boy, it was rather hard to follow. So many names are introduced as the witnesses it got confusing and muddled. I don't think we needed so much detail. Telling the story is far more important.
4/5
Dan Abrams & David Fisher do a great job in showing that no matter the political climate. Truth and the law should matter. When we deviate and pick and chose what laws are worth imposing our institutions crumble. Sadly we don’t have leaders like John Adams anymore who could stand up to a mob even when he agrees with them politically. He could and would do the right thing no matter the polling.
Best quote:
“If the legal system could be bent to achieve a desired political outcome any liberty that came of it would be worthless.”
