The surprise mid day adjournment came after Del Ross, the man Huey Newton is accused of kidnapping last October, took the witness stand and refused to testify. Ross was accompanied in court by his own attorney, and when asked what he was doing on the morning of the

00:00:22.820 - 00:00:38.850

28th, he invoked the Fifth Amendment on grounds he might incriminate himself. The prosecution is seeking tohave. Ross, cited for contempt. Points of law on the matter were requested from both sides by Judge Friedman, and he will rule before court opens tomorrow morning. During the recess, Huey

00:00:38.850 - 00:00:55.970

Newton granted press interviews to discuss the trial and his future. When the trial started, it was pointed out by Mr Gary and also by me, that the grand jury that bound me over to Superior Court in the first place was a blue ribbon grand jury, and

00:00:55.970 - 00:01:14.210

it did not represent a cross section of the community. That was the first wrong that was done. Well, that was one of the wrongs. Maybe not the first way have the petty Jerry that's still not does not represent the cross section of Alameda County. So I

00:01:14.210 - 00:01:38.480

feel that I'm not getting justice under the Constitution, and it's not fair, uh, politically and socially. Uh, the whole judicial system is based upon the tri ALS system is based upon when you have a jury on the average recently, man. And this assumes that you're in

00:01:38.480 - 00:01:59.760

a homogeneous, uh, society A Sfar. Its values are concerned, and we contend that there's a contrast and a large difference between the values of the blacks and the ghetto and the white establishment. Yeah, as faras, the eventual outcome of this trial is concerned. You in Newton

00:01:59.760 - 00:02:22.770

says he has every confidence in the ability of his attorney, and he has certain of victory. Gordon Graham, Kolo in TV news. Yeah, friends that they brought him into them Russia.
