Drawing of trial of Queen Liliuokalani

After an aborted attempt by about a hundred of her followers, the queen 
was charged, tried and convicted of "misprision of treason"  (failure to 
notify authorities of treason). She was sentenced to five years of hard
labor, but spent only eight months under house arrest at Iolani Palace,
before she was released. Later, in exchange for pardons for all her
convicted followers, she abdicated the throne.
