After ROTC training during college, Weinglass went to Yale Law School, served in the air force as a legal officer, and set up his own practice in Newark. There he met Hayden and was introduced into radical law when he took the case of John Butenko, an engineer who was charged with espionage. Since then, Weinglass has represented Imamu Baraka (LeRoi Jones) and Newark Mayor Kenneth Gibson...
...appeals involved two men who were convicted of conspiring to transmit U.S. defense secrets to the Soviet Union-an American engineer named John Butenko and Igor Ivanov, a chauffeur for a Soviet trade agency in the U.S. In their cases, and another that involved a pair of extortionists, the Government's position was that the trial judge should decide what portions of the eavesdropping transcripts were "arguably relevant" to the trial.

Sentence has not yet been passed, but both...
...From the description of conditions in Russia and of Stalin given by New Bolshevik Butenko, it is not difficult to understand why he figured it was best for him to skip. Excerpts: "I personally attended many of those treason trials in Russia. . . . I know better than anyone else the horrible tortures with which the Bolsheviks have taken the lives of many worthy and innocent persons. . . . The Bolsheviks promised the people of Russia full and complete liberty and autonomy. They even proclaimed the 'free right of the different regional nationalities to leave at their will the Soviet Federation.' Every...
