Clement Vallandigham

1871

Clement Vallandigham was an American congressman who died while defending a murder suspect on trial. In the course of arguing that the victim could have accidentally shot himself while drawing a gun, Vallandigham tried to prove his point by reenacting the scene. Unaware that the gun was loaded, he accidentally shot himself and made his case.
