Judge Cox Sets Courtroom Rules for Guiteau Case
Instructions bar visitors from the northeast corner during argument and require exits through the south doors. Defense lawyers Seoville and Reed completed fourteen prayers arguing insanity as a legal test, with jurors to consider delusion and lack of resistance, presuming favorable evidence if suppressed, and allowing manslaughter verdicts if sound mind but no malice. The jury may rule not guilty on counts tied to the President's death, and divine command under insane delusion is cited as a defense.
