Becker Defense Opens in Rosenthal Murder Trial Surprises Expected
Charles Becker’s murder trial opens as defense promises surprises. Martin Manton says thirty witnesses will be called, including four new to the case, and Becker may not testify. The defense seeks dismissal of the indictment on insufficient evidence and outlines a theory involving Jack Rose as Becker’s stool pigeon amid a gamblers war connected to Rosenthal’s killing. A newspaper reporter is slated to testify about Becker being contacted from Times Square after the murder.
