Insanity verdict frees Maguire in child molesting case
Seattle jurors acquitted Russell A. Maguire, heir to the Thompson submachine gun fortune, by reason of insanity after a three day deliberation on molestation charges involving an 8 year old girl. He said he is as sane as the average person and left court a free man. The case was tried in federal court since the arrest occurred in a national park. Assistant U.S. Attorney Sally Gustafson urged the jury to protect children.
