Answer:

We can best infer that Sickles had good lawyers because:

C) He used the very first temporary insanity defense.

Explanation:

This question refers to Daniel Edgar Sickles, an American soldier and politician who, in 1859, short to death his wife's lover. Sickles was an influential and well-connected man. He received several visits from important people while in jail, and <u>made sure to secure very capable and efficient people as his lawyers. As a matter of fact, it was in his trial that "temporary insanity" was used for the first time in history. According to his lawyers, Sickle had temporarily lost his mind due to the rage of finding out his wife was having an affair. Therefore, he was not himself when he shot her lover to death. His lawyers also made sure to leak certain information to newspapers and get everybody talking about the case as tactics to ensure the result they wanted. They were successful and Sickles was acquitted.</u>
