Impeachment Tactics in House of David Case
Attorneys for the House of David pressed to impeach star witness Esther Hansel in the dissolution case against the colony in St. Joseph Michigan. They argued Benjamin Purnell based his teachings on the Bible and directed followers to lie to protect the kingdom, with Hansel claiming he styled himself as Jesus’ angry brother and leader of all to everlasting life. Hansel said she gathered witnesses for pay and denied promising sisters gain for testimony while admitting travel to interview ex-members and that Purnell controlled colony funds and kept a large cash reserve while bank deposits covered only current expenses.
