there are people who live in washington, d.c. and they run the country, but they also think they run washington. they don't run washington, certainly not in this era. congress, everybody had gone home this session, and it is the residents of d.c. who are in charge of the trial. think about d.c. culture at the time. it is southern, unapologetically proslavery. key is part of the firmament of the city. so, as people come and go -- presidents come and go, congressmen come and go, people like key remain. key had been a u.s. attorney --ltiple presidents pierce, buchanan, and also previously in the polk administration. i think the bar of washington, d.c., particularly would have insisted on a death sentence to avenge their friend their former , u.s. attorney, so i think that would have happened if the jury had convicted sickles, and there was a time when it looked like that very well may happen. because at first, there was the reaction like "you know what? , the guy was having an affair with his wife. good for sickles." have thought si
