Bergdoll and Griffith Rival Factions In Slacker Kidnapping
In Wurzburg Germany two American youths face a tense clash of loyalties as Grover Bergdoll longtime symbol of slacker defiance sits in a tavern with guards while Lieutenant Hoover Griffith from Ohio and accomplices face charges over a failed attempted kidnapping. Griffith is praised as a patriotic volunteer by many, while Bergdoll is vilified by authorities and locals. The case may hinge on diplomatic sensitivities and likely go to trial in October with possible downgrading of charges.
