Described as "clowns" by Cleveland police commissioner Clifford Bruce, neither Claude Vealey or Buddy Martin had finished junior high school. They both had long arrest records--during the three-month period in which they planned to kill Yablonski, they were both involved in numerous burglaries. Both were alcoholics...
Trying to show that Patty had not lived in constant fear of the Harrises, as she claimed, Browning put on the stand Ronald Furgerson, an FBI cryptology expert, who testified about a communications system used by the S.L.A. that was found in her handbag on the day of her arrest.

One Wednesday night, Murphy and his partner, Jack Stanton, caught a teenager loitering in the Science Center. "I reached for his arm, and he pulled out this bag full of pills," Stanton said later. "Christ, the guy was so high, he didn't even know he had them, so he said that we must have planted them...
