A detailed exploration of the famously controversial case of Mary Elizabeth Jenkins Surratt, an American woman who was convicted of participating in a plot to assassinate U.S. President Abraham Lincoln in 1865. Despite maintaining her innocence and the fact that the case made against her was arguably weak, she became the first women to be executed by the US federal government. Her son John Surratt was also tried at a later date, but acquitted due to the statute of limitations.
