Fromme faces federal trial on attempted presidential murder
Lynette Fromme, wearing a nunlike robe, goes on trial Tuesday in Sacramento on a charge of attempting to murder President Ford. It is the first case under the new federal law against attacking a president. Ford testified by videotape during pretrial, while Fromme defends herself and aims to expand legal proceedings. If convicted, she faces life imprisonment, mirroring sentences for Charles Manson followers in Tate murder cases.
