Gunfight at the O.K. Corral

Aftermath

After the gunfight, the Earps and Holliday were charged with murder, but at the preliminary hearing the presiding Justice of the Peace ruled that there wasn't enough evidence for a trial. However, following the hearing, Wyatt's brother Morgan was assassinated and Virgil was severely wounded, completely losing the use of his left arm. After these incidents, Wyatt, accompanied by Doc, undertook a vendetta in which they tracked down and killed the men whom they believed had been responsible for these acts against Wyatt's brothers. After their vendetta, Wyatt and Doc parted company. Soon after, Doc died of tuberculosis. Wyatt would travel across the Western frontier until his death in 1929.
