Pettibone Trial Ends Defense Takes No Argument
Boise Idaho January 3 intense interest marked the last day of the Pettibone case as the defense announced it would not argue. Hawley said Darrow’s opening statement painted Orchard as a monumental liar yet Orchard’s testimony was largely uncontradicted except on the Bradley explosion and related depositions. The prosecutor argued the defense failed to call many witnesses due to cross examination fears based on Haywood trial records. Orchard’s demeanor and lack of shielding himself were cited as indicators of truthfulness.
