Jury Finds -

ed to relate what he had done after arriving at the scene. Line of Defense Seth Ward’s line of defense followed a still existing common law originating in Great Britain. He put forth this common law as follows: “It is the law if a wife assists her husband or does it at his request she is excused of law with the exception of murder and treason.” Everything done by a married woman is ‘presumed’ to have been done with the ‘coercion’ of her husband. Dr. Johnson and Mrs. Johnson were both witnesses on her behalf and the attorney showed, through their testimony, that Dr. Johnson had been giving Mrs. Johnson instructions during his skiing attempt. Climax It seemed that the climax of the trial, although not dramatic in context, was when prosecutor Rasor asked in cross examination if she had operated the boat exactly according to her husband’s instructions, if her husband had forced her to operate it in the fashion it was (objected to by Seth Ward because of the word ‘forced*) and “Did he instruct you'tp turn towards the shore?” “Did he give you, instructions to keep the boat running at the same speed?” and “You were not operating the boat towards the’ sliofe at your husband’s direction were ' you?” She answered “No. It was • on my own.” The above answer by the defendant could have been the motivating factor in the jury’s decision if JP McCullough had not pointed out that a JP court "does not deal with common law” and was only of the existing statutes. Rasor had also stated that the common law used by the defense could be added to by stating that where these is a ‘presumption’ of ‘coercion’, evidence can rebut and overcome this ‘presumption’ in many cases. Constable Dale Sparklin assisted in a bailiff’s capacity. It Pays To Advertise
