How would you have thought about the case at the beginning of the trial?

Are you skeptical of witness testimony?

Do you think that a person is responsible for the death and poor health of prisoners that happens under his command, even if he tries to seek supplies for the prisoners from his superiors, and is denied by them?

Guilty!

You would probably have found the defendant guilty according to what was presented at trial. The jury that was present also found Henry Wirz guilty of his war crimes.

Not Guilty!

You would have found the defendant not guilty. Along with some other after the trial, doubt about the authenticity of the key witnesses was raised, as well as questions during the trial about whether or not Henry Wirz tried his best to care for the Union troops with his low supplies.
