Aaron Burr's treason trial featured:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

John Marshall, who presided over the trial, insisted on a very rigid definition of treason that made it difficult for the prosecution to prove Burr's guilt. The lack of witnesses who could testify to overt acts of treason made it even more difficult for the prosecution to prove their case. Burr himself did not confess to treason, and there is no record of Jefferson testifying on behalf of the prosecution. While there were some allegations of jury tampering, they did not ultimately affect the outcome of the trial.
