Widow seeks GI insurance after Eddie Slovik execution
Washington AP Five Army officers will decide if the 1945 firing squad death of Pvt Eddie Slovik was legal error. Antoinette Slovik, his indigent widow, requests correction of records to obtain $68,000 in GI insurance and to move his grave from the dishonored section in France. Her lawyer Bernard Edelson argues the case tests conscience and historical injustice, presenting witnesses and noting Slovik’s fear of guns and prior desertion confessions. The board will deliberate for weeks.
