Boise Trial Could Last Two More Weeks
The Boise trial pacing shows no immediate verdict as Haywood and Moyer loom large on the stand. Pettibone delays testimony while Steve Adams remains jailed and unlikely to testify. Prosecutors seek Adams testimony to unlock parts of his repudiated confession. The defense pushes for wide cross examination of Haywood and contends Orchard connections will be challenged. Jurors endure long days in confinement.
