Agents to Testify In Higdon Court Martial
In the Higdon case at Redstone Arsenal the defense asked for three government agents to testify after a witness claimed statements were shaped by questions from agents. Edward Kowatch said agents pressed for direct figures and he would agree even if he did not remember exact amounts. The defense argues inconsistencies in Kowatch statements about payments to Sgt. Conley and kickbacks. Higdon and seven others face federal charges in Los Angeles for alleged defrauding of clubs in Vietnam through Maredem entities.
