In 1834, unqualified jurors and circumstantial evidence determined
the fate of a journeyman printer, poet, and musician, Charles
Boyington, a nineteen-year-old hanged for the murder of his
critically ill best friend. As he predicted would happen to prove his
innocence, an oak tree grew from his gravesite in Mobile, Alabama.
