Trial ends with long hearing over LaDuke confession
Judge Erwin will follow Mr. Thomas and Mr. Robinson will close the case for the state. The trial, lengthy due to interruptions, proceeded smoothly with sheriff deputies serving subpoenas daily and Prosecutor Thomas providing ample material. About 100 witnesses testified as the defense stayed well organized. Jurors faced delays due to a juror's death and illness, while Judge O Rourke ruled promptly on law points. Public interest waned and the courtroom was rarely crowded.
