Speaking of the film "Female Conspiracy", it was for the beauty of the Civil War era. The disc was bought very early, but the subtitles were too bad, and I lost it at the beginning. I once thought of becoming a cosmic team and overwhelmed it. Even if the finished product is finished, if it weren't for "Lincoln", it would probably have been a long time.
Regarding Mary Surratt, who was hanged by the U.S. government as an accomplice in Lincoln's assassination, her lawyer (aka Yimei) defends her in the film in the light of the justice of the law, even though he hates the job at first , but as the trial progressed, he gradually realized the defendant's innocence, but in such a military court, where the jury was all northern military representatives, all emotions were aimed at convicting the defendant, and ultimately Mary Surratt Not even getting a life sentence, but ending her life as the first female hangman in American history. The following year, her son was imprisoned, but he could already be tried in a civil court, with the participation of people from both the north and the south, so after a long debate, her son was acquitted.
Lawyers defended in the spirit of the law, but were defeated in the face of strong national sentiment. In the eyes of the vast majority of people, this kind of defense is like going through the motions. No one will forgive a suspect who assassinated the president, even if they analyze it rationally. Check out the loopholes in those defenses. Ending this defense, bringing the murderer to justice, and quelling the anger of the people was probably the consensus of the judicial community at that time, and the truth was no longer important. Simply, Mary Surratt still had history and time to prove her grievances.
