The Accused Man on The Witness Stand
The long cross examination records the Dickerson murder trial with Benjamin Dickerson on the stand. The testimony covers the night of the Hughes house fire, dogs at the scene, family movements, visits, and prior interactions between the Dickerson and Hughes families, including details of the arrest and sheriff’s inquiry. The judge and attorneys clash over reports and admissibility while Dr. Pomerene discusses potential death causes.
