Specialist Given Life Term For Giving Russia Secrets Is Free
George John Gessner, once sentenced to life for giving nuclear secrets to Russia, was released after the government dropped charges for lack of evidence beyond his confession. The 1964 conviction was overturned by the 16th Circuit for nonvoluntary confession. Gessner, 29, formerly an army nuclear weapons specialist at Ft Bliss, had reportedly visited the Russian embassy during his 1960–61 absence. The U S attorney called the outcome unjust in other countries, while Gessner criticized the system as he left the Leavenworth prison with deputy marshals nearby. He rejected seeking asylum in Russia and summoned scrutiny of perceived privileged justice.
