Sam Ervin, speaking at an Association of Trial Lawyers of America event in Atlanta, endorses upholding death penalty laws and says President Ford's Nixon pardon will influence the 1976 presidential race. He argues capital punishment deters crimes so atrocious communities may seek punishment.

Hearst Testimony Blocked as Harris Case Heads to Jury
In Los Angeles William and Emily Harris rest their case by not calling a witness, blocking Patricia Hearst from testifying against them. Hearst plans to testify as a rebuttal witness for the prosecution after offering to cooperate without immunity. Weinglass noted the defense views the prosecution as weak and predicts jurors will weigh Hearst’s potential admission against the defendants' narrative.
