Startling hints haunt Thaw trial defense plans
New York January 4 defense hints a startling story may shape the Thaw case for the murder of Stanford White. Prosecutors expect a short direct case with about five witnesses, focusing on the shooting at Madison Square Garden and events surrounding it. The defense may seek insanity or unwritten law as justification. Evelyn Nesbit and Mrs Holman loom large, with family pressure for an insanity plea and possible psychiatric strategy, while a trial may not occur if Thaw is deemed sane or committed to an asylum.
