Outwardly Calm Sister Wife in Tears at Court
Defense and prosecution presented contrasting portraits of Rhodes during final summations at Fort McNair. prosecutors portrayed a native-born American soldier who sold out to the Soviets for 3000, while the defense labeled the witness Reino Hayhanen a liar and thief. Rhodes faced accusations of aiding Russian agents while leading the U S motor pool in Moscow 1951 to 1953 and attending parties with Russian women. Evidence included Rhodes signed statements admitting contact with Russians and payments in rubles, suggesting involvement after his return to the United States. Prosecutors argued he agreed to cooperate with Russians in Moscow. Rhodes’s civilian counsel James K Eaton argued he resisted espionage efforts.
