Aaron Burr Acquitted Of Treason

Jurors quickly acquit Aaron Burr after Chief Justice John Marshall instructs them that the U.S. Constitution requires the testimony of at least two witnesses for a treason conviction (Article III, Section 3). Burr allegedly schemed to form a breakaway republic. He is known for killing Alexander Hamilton in a duel while serving as the nation?s third vice president.

At the time, Aaron Burr’s daughter, Theodosia, was married to Joseph Alston of  South Carolina.  Alston was a lawyer, planter, and politician.  In 1812, he was elected governor of South Carolina, making Theodosia the First Lady of the state.
