The Trial of the Accused Murderers of the Carthage Jail (Part III of III)
This concludes our three-part series on the trial of the accused killers of Joseph and Hyrum Smith.
Josiah Lamborn, the prosecutor, was in trouble. After several days of testimony, none of the witnesses were able -- or willing -- to incriminate any of the five defendants. Lamborn then called his three star witnesses - William Daniels, Benjamin Brackenbury, and Eliza Jane Graham.
The episode gives an overview of their testimonies, the closing arguments, and the ultimate result. It then discusses what happened to the people involved with the trial later in their lives. While some would come to ruin, most of them lived long, prosperous lives.
To learn more about the stories in this episode, please check out: Dallin H. Oaks & Marvin S. Hill, Carthage Conspiracy: The Trial of the Accused Assassins of Joseph Smith (1979).
