"Even if he'd actually committed the crime, which he didn't, it's still insane that a 14 year old was sentenced to death in a two hour long trial. Court trials usually last around 2 to 3 days, and they decided after two hours that he needed to die.…"

"I'm glad this explained the assassination for you. And I agree that this story is interesting, and that what he did for the reasons he did was crazy. He was a strange person who committed a really strange act of violence against a president."

"Indeed! Guiteau was a very strange man, and decided to solve an imagined issue with a very strange way to solve an issue. There's so many more options that he could've done rather than kill a man, like therapy."

"That's intresting irony considering how Charles J. Guiteau had similar things happen to his family, 4 of his 6 siblings died, and his mother died, both while he was still very young."

Charles J. Guiteau was a troubled man with a difficult upbringing. His mother and 4 of his 6 siblings all died when he was still a child, and his father instilled religious beliefs into him through physical abuse. Guiteau grew up to be an incredibly…
