Kudirka Trial Opens With Claims of a Second Prosecutor
Kudirka rejects court counsel Jas Gavronskis and declares one prosecutor may suffice. In a four hour speech he details his escape from discrimination, threats by secret police, and his fear of execution. He anticipates a 10 year strict regime labor camp sentence, as Volpe criticizes the Coast Guard for returning him to the USSR. Two Coast Guard officials faced potential court martial but retired instead.
