Farmer acquitted in abduction case against Mennonite wife
In Carlisle Pennsylvania a Cumberland County jury found farmer L Bear not guilty of unlawful restraint and assault in the 31 August abduction of his wife Gail after seven years of church shunning. Prosecutor Eakin said Bear had no right to restrain his wife and the defense claimed the act aimed to save her from a strict sect. Bear discussed Nazi Germany and Civil War parallels on the stand and maintained he would not recant his criticisms of the church.
