List of Defendants
The first trial indictment document listed 11 names as the accused. Counsel for the accused successfully challenged the legal sufficiency of the document, with the result that Justice de Vet quashed it. Prior to dismissal of the first indictment, The State withdraw all charges against Bob Hepple, after he agreed to testify for the prosecution. The second indictment thus only listed 10 out of the original 11 names, referring to them as Accused 1 through 10.

“Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Feminism is an entire world view or gestalt, not just a laundry list of women’s issues.”
