ICYMI: I wrote a post about the back story giving rise to the Neagle immunity doctrine. Former state Supreme Court Justice David Terry represented the mistress of a silver baron in a will contest. Terry had a violent history, including stabbing vigilantes, killing a U.S. Senator, and fighting for the confederacy. When SCOTUS Justice Field ruled against his client, he swore revenge, and U.S. Marshal Neagle was ready for him. https://lawzag.substack.com/p/the-wild-wild-west-and-neagle-immunity
