  • Charles Guiteau was born in Illinois on September of 1841
  • His mother suffered from psychosis and died shortly after his 7th birthday
  • His goals were to educate himself physically, intellectually, and moraly
  • around 1865, he attempted to make his own newspaper, but failed
  • In Illinois, Charles got married to a woman named Annie Bunn
  • He became abusive and would lock her in the closet for hours, kick her, and drag her around the house by her hair
  • after five years, the marriage ended
  • Charles, once again, tried to own his own newspaper but failed
  • He moved from passion to passion and finally settled in politics
  • Charles was at the end, guilty as charged
  • I agree with his sentnce because Charles was not insane
  • I strongly believe this because in a letter about how he is going to assassinate the president, he said he is going to jail
  • This shows that he knew assassinating the president was wrong
