Protesting that "you cannot be accuser, judge, and at the same time executioner," Inonu denounced the bill as "an illegal rape of the constitution and human rights." "Listen to me," he told the Democrats. "If you continue on this road, even I cannot save you." Then he walked out in protest. "We will try even you, Pasha," jeered a Democrat...

The grey Ford (it had been stolen Jan. 13) matched descriptions of the Red Light Bandit's car. At the trial, Red Light Bandit victims identified the .45 pistol that Chessman had tossed away when the pursuing patrol car caught up with him. Witnesses also said that a pen flashlight found in the grey Ford looked like one that the bandit had used. The prosecution produced a nut, found in Chessman's pocket when he was arrested...
