John Wilkes Booth did not go to jail because he was shot and killed by Union soldiers just 12 days after assassinating President Abraham Lincoln. After fleeing Washington, D.C., he was tracked down to a barn in Virginia, where he was cornered. When he refused to surrender, the soldiers set the barn on fire, and he was shot in the neck during the ensuing chaos. Consequently, Booth died on April 26, 1865, before he could face trial or serve a prison sentence.
