Canfield Take Stand on Jerome Raid Testimony
Richard A. Canfield testified in his own defense in the suit by former attorney John Delahunty.

He denied knowledge of the notes, claimed the raid was based on perjury, and argued about Bucklin and Delahunty’s roles while defending his actions and finances.
