Witness seeks protection in Medina court martial
A government witness in the Medina My Lai case invokes the Fifth Amendment as a judge weighs compelling testimony. Widmer, granted federal immunity, questions whether it fully shields him, while another former crewman testifies near the wounded boy. The trial also hears Medina’s defense say he did not know of the killings until late, and the government accuses him of failing to intervene. Weather and local notes follow with brief forecasts and public safety appointment.
