Calley’s Lawyer Demands End To Testimony Rehash
At Fort Benning Georgia AP Lt William L Calley’s counsel George Latimer urges the judge to stop rereading testimony in the My Lai murder trial. The judge declines noting the jury has a tough decision on whether Calley killed 102 villagers and faces potential death penalty if convicted. Latimer warns the jury risk of a rehash while court reporters reread four months of testimony and jurors study slides from November 1969. The panel weighs whether killings occurred at the north south trail intersection and considers the implications for verdicts and the death penalty.
