Sherman was being puffed as a presidential candidate–the last thing either man needed was association with the political “hot potato” of the day. Prosecutors such as the posturing and violent Ohioan , were prepared to use their roles in the trial as political launching pads. Defense attorneys could look forward to nothing but vilification.
