Mitchell and Stans ask charges be dropped at trial
Former Attorney General John Mitchell and ex Commerce Secretary Maurice Stans seek dismissal and change of venue as jury selection begins in federal court. Defense accuses government of orchestrating prejudicial Watergate publicity while prosecutors plan to press perjury and conspiracy charges in a case linked to Vesco and the 1972 Nixon campaigns. The judge reserves ruling on venue and publicity matters as Mitchell, 60, and Stans, 65, face potential felonies and long prison terms.
