Bentley Testimony Cleared In Relating Spy Case Trial
The week’s wrangle over witness Bentley continues as she has not yet taken the stand. Prosecution insists on calling her despite defense attempts to bar her testimony. Bentley, a former spy courier, had accused Remington in 1948 of relaying Soviet information and later sued a TV program over the charges. The judge denied the defense motion to exclude her, allowing cross examination and further testimony by other government witnesses.
