Doubt Cast Over Warden’s Alleged Complicity in Justice
The article argues there is reasonable doubt about the alleged dereliction by the late warden and asserts that fair-minded people will grant him the benefit of the doubt. It notes no evidence in character suggesting he would collude with criminals to defeat justice.
Trial testimony weakens prosecution in four-defendant case
The defense pressed an alibi for Hendricks as relatives testified he was in Wilkes Barre and Avoca before the murder. Hendricks denied confessing to detectives and challenged Detective Simpson’s role. Cross examination exposed perceived coaching and possible perjury, with jurors to decide verdict after a protracted, Sunday-sequestered trial.
