[Verginius Rufus]

How unfair of them to blame Burr for Hamilton's death, when it was obviously the fault of the gun manufacturer.

If I'm not mistaken, Burr was sued for divorce by his wife on grounds of adultery, and the decree granting the divorce was issued the very day he died.

I actually read somewhere that it was he that instigated the divorce! His wife was much younger, and was supposed to have a fortune. She didn't, and he was mad at her, I think. So he divorced her.
