  5. The Lawyer Who Shot Himself

    Lawyers have many ways of persuading a jury. Some rely on eloquence. Others produce meticulous cases with irrefutable evidence. The very best combine both into a compelling argument that leaves little room for doubt.

    American lawyer Clement Laird Vallandigham preferred demonstrations. As it turned out, demonstrations can be rather hazardous.

    Born in Ohio in 1820, Vallandigham was no ordinary solicitor. A politician, lawyer and outspoken public figure, he’d already made a name for himself during the American Civil War, where his criticism of President Abraham Lincoln and the Union war effort made him one of the most controversial men in the country.

    By the early 1870’s, he had returned to practicing law, and in 1871 he found himself defending Thomas McGehan, a man accused of murdering another patron during a bar-room brawl in Hamilton, Ohio.

    The prosecution believed that the victim had been deliberately shot but Vallandigham believed otherwise. His theory was that the victim had accidentally discharged his own pistol while drawing it from his own pocket and to convince the jury, he decided to recreate the event.

    It was a bold strategy. And possible a bit daft.

    Standing before colleagues inn his hotel room while preparing for court, he picked up a pistol he believed to be unloaded. Holding the weapon against his own body, he demonstrated exactly how the victim might have drawn it from a pocket.

    Then he pulled the trigger. The pistol fired and the bullet entered Vallandighams abdomen. Doctors rushed to his aid, but nineteenth century medicine had little to offer someone suffering such catastrophic internal injuries. Surgery was risky, antibiotics lay decades in the future and infection was an ever-present threat.

    By the following morning, Clement Vallendigham was dead, but his fatal mistake wasn’t entirely in vain. The demonstration convinced the jury that accidental shooting was indeed possible. McGehen was acquitted of murder.

    In one of histories cruellest ironies, Vallandigham quite literally gave his life to prove his argument. It worked. Just not in the way he’d imagined. The story has since become a staple of legal folklore and courtroom cautionary tales that remind us all that assumptions – particularly about firearms – sometimes end badly.

    Whether you’re a barrister, a detective or just somebody trying to make a point, one rule has stood the test of time:

    Never assume a gun is unloaded.

    Vallandigham forgot that lesson for just a moment.

    History has remembered him for ever.

    Unlike many tales in this series, this one comes with an unexpectedly bittersweet ending. His client escaped a murder conviction (Although he was later killed in a bar-room shoot out in his own saloon). His legal argument was vindicated. His reputation as a brilliant advocate endured. But he never lived to hear the verdict.

    Sometimes history rewards you for being right.

    It just doesn’t guarantee you’ll be around to enjoy it.
