	Charles J. Guiteau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Guiteau became something of a media darling during his trial for his bizarre behavior, including constantly badmouthing his defense team, formatting his testimony in epic poems which he recited at length, and soliciting legal advice from random spectators in the audience via passed notes.
		Guiteau's trial was one of the first high profile cases in the United States where the insanity defense was considered.
		Guiteau vehemently insisted that while he had been legally insane at the time of the shooting, he was not really medically insane, which was one of the major causes of the rift between him and his defense lawyers and probably also a reason the jury assumed Guiteau was merely trying to deny responsibility.

	History House: Garfield I: Who Shot Garfield?
		Charles Julius Guiteau was the assassin of President James Garfield in 1881.
		Guiteau was not working consistently, had arguments with church leaders, and had scrawled a line of chalk in his room which he insisted his roommate not cross.
		Guiteau moved to Hoboken, quickly spent what money they gave him [some $200, which in today's money would be worth $2000], and returned to the community for a three month stint before getting kicked out permanently.
