The Officer's Radio Recordings
United States v. Monti (1951)
Charge: Treason (21 alleged overt acts)Court: U.S. District Court, E.D.N.Y.State: New YorkDocket: Treason
The facts
An Army officer was charged with treason, with 21 separate acts listed against him. A military court had already convicted him of being absent without leave and of misusing government property. He first pleaded not guilty. He says he only made ten recordings for radio broadcast, and did so without any intent to betray his country. He also argues that being tried again, after the military court, is unfair.
You have the facts the court had. Guilty or not guilty? Call it in the game with your friends, then see what the court actually decided. Wrong call, you drink.
