Prisoner Illness Shapes Pettibone Trial Strategy
In Boise Idaho on December 31 in the Pettibone murder case the defense moves to submit without argument as illness affects the defendant and the state avoids new testimony. The judge plans final instructions by Thursday morning leaving the verdict tied to whether conspiracy to kill Western Federation of Miners enemies can be proven beyond a doubt. The prosecution contends conspiracy links the Breen murder to broader aims. The defense argues no direct link to the killing is proven and will rely on court instructions to limit argument.
