Judge prohibits statements before trial
CHICAGO (UPI) — A federal judge, noting defense publicity tactics in the trial of the "Chicago Seven," Tuesday prohibited defense attorneys and defendants in another trial from making any statements on their case pending its disposition.
U. S. District Court Judge Edwin J. Robson issued the sweeping order in the trial of 15 persons charged with destroying draft records in a South Side Selective Service office in a raid on May 25, 1969.
"I'm just going to control this trial," Robson told William C. Cunningham and Patrick Hughes, defense attorneys, when they objected to the surprise order.
Robson, whose courtroom is just down the hall from that of U.S. District Court Judge Julius J. Hoffman where the "Chicago
Seven" were tried on riot conspiracy charges, scorned the tactics used by William M. Kunstler, chief defense attorney in the trial which ended Friday with the sentencing of five men.
Robson said Kunstler "repeatedly and brazenly" violated local district court rules and the canons of professional ethics by making "continuous inflamulatory public statements concerning jurors, witnesses, evidence, the judge and rulings by the court" during the trial of the "Chicago Seven."
The judge noted that Cunningham was co-counsel with Kunstler in a case involving a similar raid upon a Selective Service office in Catonsville, Md.
"From his association with Kunstler," Robson said, "he
occurs when counsel and parties engage in a strategy designed to inflame public passion and prejudice."
(Cunningham) should also be aware of the irreparable damage to our legal system and to the dispassionate rule of law which
Robson denied motions to dismiss the indictment and to disqualify himself from hearing the case and set a trial date of May 4.
Each month approximately 5,879 pay checks are issued to University of Kansas employees.
