In Harrisburg Pennsylvania the defense for Rev Philip Berrigan and six co defendants stunned the court by resting their case after a two month trial. The defendants backed by four defense lawyers argued the government case was false and pledged to present no further defense. The vote to rest the case was 4 to 3 with seven defendants including two Catholic priests and a former nun facing charges of plotting to kidnap Kissinger blow up tunnels and raid draft boards to end U.S. activity in Indochina. Some defendants condemned the judge as lacking justice and prepared for possible documents in evidence on Monday while the jury may hear final arguments next week.
