John Barnett had been giving a formal legal deposition against the plane manufacturer before his sudden death.

    To be clear, he was warning about safety beaches before his demise. These depositions were not coming from beyond the grave.

          That is completely fucking bonkers, even for the US, even for the time. Love it.

          It isn’t quite as blitheringly insane as it sounds though, what with the whole broken neck thing.

          That’s an interesting story, but the ghost was not a witness.

          The mother of the murdered woman claims she saw her ghost and told her that the husband did it. The prosecution didn’t even bring up the ghost during the trial, it was the defense, who was trying to discredit the mother as a witness.
