Thanks for bringing this to my attention. The local newspaper reported on the trial and stated that Quantrill was acquitted by a 5-1 vote. Below is how they characterized the case for Quantrill:

"How can we say Quantrill is guilty of these crimes if Gen. Lane is not, if Gen. Sherman is not, if Gen. Custer is not?" asked Troy Stabenow, the lead defense attorney and a federal public defender in real life, during closing arguments.

To the defense, Quantrill was a scapegoat, a commissioned Confederate officer who, yes, may have committed some atrocities, but no different than those committed by Union generals.

Do you know if there will be any publication of a trial transcript?
