Thaw defense prep hinges on insanity claim in White case
Attorney Garvan leads Thaw defense as trial nears with plans to reveal sensational testimony from witnesses linking events from Cafe Martin to the Gar den roof shooting. The strategy aims to portray Harry K. Thaw as insane at the time while claiming current sanity.
