Judge Rules Victim's Character Not Relevant in Mann Act Case
Judge Newman of the United States court in the Stoe white slavery trial ruled that evidence on the victim's moral character is not admissible. The trial, following similar federal rulings in California and Kansas, centers on whether SA Stoe transported a woman across state lines for money, regardless of the woman's character. Testimony included Mrs Bond, the Georgia woman at the heart of the case, and hotel clerks across several cities. The defense challenged the government's character witnesses, while prosecutors presented many witnesses linking the Stoes to the alleged acts. The hearing adjourned with the case set to resume for final arguments and a possible verdict later today.
