Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Communist Trial: An American Crossroads The answer is in a letter by the author to a Protestant minister in Gilbertsville, New York. Reverend Sir: Thank you for your obviously sincere letter, and permit me to reply with equal directness. You say: "It is my opinion that Judge Medina has bent over backward to give the defendants in the current conspiracy trial the fairest sort of treatment." What else could you think? You have been told the defendants and their lawyers behaved abominably and only the "saintly patience" of the Judge kept the trial going. But you have not been told the shoe is on the other foot. Let me cite - from the very beginning of the pre-trial record going back to the summer of 1948 - proof of the gross prejudice with which Judge Medina entered this case - and refused to leave it. Medina: "That is the way we conduct our judicial proceedings in this country." You have to bend over backward indeed to miss the inference that the defendants are agents of a foreign country - Russia. And again: "You´ll get an American trial." Pages 20-22. Medina: "If the difficulty has to do with this idea of overthrowing the government by force, public policy might require that the matter be given prompt attention. There may be some more of these fellows up to that sort of thing." Page 126. Medina: "Not involving weasel words that they used, if you interpret them to mean the overthrow of the government by violence, and they say they do not, isn´t there just some play on words there?" Pages 130-132. When pre-trial defense attorney Unger said: "There is not a word in the indictment alleging any acts committed by the defendants or by the Communist Party," page 139 shows: Medina: "No, they want to wait until they get everything set and then the acts will come." All this was before Judge Medina had been named trial judge. This was before any misconduct could have occured: it was before any of trial counsel for the defence had even been retained! Who provoked whom? Don´t you think you´d better read my report from the record before you form an opinion?
