Court Reverses Conviction in Nuclear Spy Case
The U S circuit court of appeals reversed the conviction of George J. Gessner for deserting the Army and leaking atomic secrets to the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City. A new trial was ordered because his 1961 confession was coerced and improperly admitted. Gessner, an Army nuclear weapons maintenance technician, deserted at Ft. Bliss in 1960 and was convicted in 1964 on five counts of violating the Atomic Energy Act. The case involved alleged disclosures to the Soviets in December 1960 and January 1961.
