Hired To Kill Witness Testimony Shapes Finch Murder Trial
In Los Angeles, prosecutors press toward closing in the Finch murder case after a witness testified he was hired to kill Barbara Jean Finch, not seduce her. The state alleges Dr. Bernard Finch and Carole Tregoff arranged the killing of Barbara to prevent a big divorce settlement. Cody, 29, denied involvement in seduction plans and stated he was hired to kill. The defense argued Cody sought divorce evidence and bragged of sleeping with Mrs. Finch. Mrs. Finch, 36, a socialite, was shot July 18 outside the West Covina estate. Prosecutors also questioned whether Finch forged his wife’s signature on a $3,000 check. handwriting expert Donn E. Mire suggested the check’s signature was copied or traced. Deputy Dist. Atty. Fred Whichllo said the case should wrap up early next week.
