American Tragedy witness claims natural death theory
In Wilkes Barre a 21 year old defendant Robert A Edwards testifies he would admit killing his pregnant girlfriend if he had done so while the girl died a natural death. He says a blackjack was used to make her death look accidental and cites multiple confessions coerced by police as he seeks clemency. The defense highlights his love for a second woman while prosecutors reveal letters describing passion and plans to marry.
