Sickles Murder Trial
with Licensed Battlefield Guide Jim Hessler
Before Dan Sickles joined the Union Army of the Potomac during the Civil War, he was a U.S. Senator from New York, living in Washington D.C., just steps from the White House with his young bride Teresa Bagioli Sickles. When he discovered that his wife was having an affair with the District Attorney for Washington, Philip Barton Key II, he took matters into his own hands to solve the problem and shot Key in broad daylight. Learn about the trial that came next, and the verdict that helped launch Dan Sickles into infamy.
