So I've read a number of books on the assassination and the conspirators. But a lot of what I read debunks any potential conspiracy involving others, but they never seem to mention exactly what the evidence is/was that others were involved or why others were suspected.
In this thread, what I hope to see is what some consider evidence that it wasn't just Booth and his immediate cronies involved. If you are going to post only to say there was not a conspiracy, then please do so by stating what part you are debunking and the evidence supporting it. I'm more interested in seeing why the thought of a larger conspiracy gained some traction and held by some over 150 years later.
