Fifth Amendment Defense Halted Key Witness in The Way Kidnapping Trial
In Fayetteville four defendants face charges for abducting Douglas A. Wilson to deprogram him from The Way cult. Wilson’s mother Barbara invoked the Fifth Amendment when asked if she hired others to help extract him. Defense witnesses, including Dorothy Owens, described deprogramming as non injurious and noted guardianship by Mrs Wilson. Prosecution witnesses testified Wilson was not harmed and was handcuffed only at his mother’s request. The defense aims to rest today with a jury trial expected Friday.
