Our two-part jaunt into murder, madness and 19th century elections continues (and ends) this week, as Sean finishes the heartbreaking tragic story of the death of James Garfield — followed by the slapstick comedy romp that was the trial of Charles Guiteau.

Convinced he was destined to play a role in history and spurned in his several half-assed attempts to earn it, Guiteau turned his efforts toward eliminating the man most emblematic of the system that rejected him…and also waved his arms around a lot and wrote some very bad poetry on his way to the gallows.

Join us as Chuck goes to “meet the Lordy” — and realizes that infamy won’t save him from his fate.
