Description

May Windsor Three defence attorneys made vigorous attempts to discredit the eyewitness testimony of two gay men, Steven Armstrong and Norman St. Onge, during the trial relating to the murder of Linda Rockwood in 1973. The attorneys for the three men accused of murder repeatedly probed the gay relationship between Armstrong and St. Onge, trying to discredit them as witnesses. The judge and jury rejected the attempted character assassination, accepted the testimony, and convicted the accused men.
