Carroll Dwyer on Trial Amid Slaying Confession Details
The 19 year old Carroll Dwyer once confessed the crime but is now accused by the state of aiding in carrying the doctor’s body from the Dwyer home after the slaying. The state argues he was too frail to act alone as Barbara Carroll, his former sweetheart and 18, was not called as a witness. Dwyer testified about love letters from Barbara describing abuse by her father and claimed he told Dr. Littlefield of them, after which Carroll, in a rebuke, allegedly kicked and garrotted the physician.
