The Most Dramatic Legal Defence Ever | Tales From the Bottle

Ойын-сауық

This lawyer took a bullet for his client, literally!
"Clement Laird Vallandigham (/vəˈlændɪɡəm/ və-LAN-dig-əm; July 29, 1820 - June 17, 1871) was an American lawyer and politician who served as the leader of the Copperhead faction of anti-war Democrats during the American Civil War.
He served two terms for Ohio's 3rd congressional district in the United States House of Representatives. In 1863, he was convicted by an Army court martial for publicly expressing opposition to the war and exiled to the Confederate States of America. He ran for governor of Ohio in 1863 from exile in Canada, but was defeated.
Vallandigham died in 1871 in Lebanon, Ohio, after accidentally shooting himself in the abdomen with a pistol, while representing a defendant in a murder case for killing a man in a barroom brawl in Hamilton."

    I have a good bit of experience with both original civil war era firearms and newly made reproductions of them and I can confirm it takes a almost painful degree of absent minded stupidity to miss-identify a loaded/non loaded firearm from that era, especially since what makes them go bang is external and in pretty much plain view at all times just about.

    He may have had primers on both revolvers. The practice of law can be as much about theater as it is about legal procedure so it's likely that he put primers on his "unloaded" weapon so that it would go "bang" for his demonstration and underscore his point to the jury. Total failure safety-wise regardless. This event is a pretty good analogue to the chain of events that led to Baldwin shooting that staffer on "Rust".

    Not just gun safety but a lot of safety rules in general when working with dangerous equipment. I work with high voltage equipment and lasers, and whenever I have to open up the high voltage stuff for diagnostic/repairs, I need to treat it as if it is fully powered up and minimize direct contact in case all the other safety controls have failed. For lasers, I behave as though I have no safety equipment or barriers and minimize putting any part of my body near the beamline. Safety measures are never perfect, and their failure can have very heavy consequences, so you operate as though they can fail anytime.

    I hate party politics, so I'm not insinuating anything by saying that most Americans have no idea that the Republicans were originally for abolition and that the Democrats were on the wrong side of history. It's not relevant to the state of things now, but it's an interesting bit of trivia. That, and most people don't know that the Federal Reserve is not part of our government, though they deceptively put Federal in their name.

    His views weren’t as unfounded as they are now. Lincoln is seen today as being a very good president, but back then, he most certainly did some VERY controversial things, including violating the First, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments of the Constitution. However, the fact that he is seen as favorably nowadays despite his blatant disregard for civil liberties is less about how people just didn’t like him during his tenure, and more of how alarming it is that many people do not care about upholding certain basic rights and liberties.

    Correct. You can actually see the exact year they completely swapped because of the election of 1964. Southern states voted democrat, and when Barry Goldwater ran against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as a Republican, the southern states suddenly voted Republican and have done so ever since with few exceptions. People that claim that a swap didn’t happen have a very hard time arguing against voting records. Still, it’s good you pointed out that the Democrats of the past are not the same as the current Republicans. There are some core values that remain the same, such as smaller/weaker federal government and stronger state governments, but generally they are not the same now as back then.

    Yeah, it's a complex subject, but don't forget about the Dixiecrats who came later. I know of a case in Florida from the 80's where there was a scandal in Florida because Dixiecrats were using painting playground equipment with lead paint in black neighborhoods. Sadly, neither party has been perfect, when it comes to race. HRC's "bring them to heel" comment in support of the "Three Strikes" Crime Bill passed by Bill Clinton is one of many more-recent comments and policies I can think of that were questionable at best. California just banned menthol cigarettes, and whether that was good or not depends on your view of whether the government should deprive you of things "for your own good." I know that I don't like it when the government prohibits me from doing things for my own good, so I think that ban was a word I won't say due to fear of this comment being deleted.
