Defense Opens Case For Chicago Seven
The defense in the Chicago Seven case presented witnesses on Monday after the judge blocked an earlier deposition. Dr Edward Sparling testified about police action at Civic Center Plaza in 1968 while Charles Ferris and James Hunt provided film and testimony on police clashes with demonstrators at Grant Park. The court denied a directed verdict of acquittal, with Kunstler arguing the government failed to prove conspiracy while asserting First Amendment aims. Judge Hoffman noted the government’s evidence remains face of the case though further defense evidence may weaken it.
