Highlights from the 1997 Trial
•
• The trial began October 21, 1997 in the Stockton, California courtroom of Judge Bob W. McNatt.  There was no jury.  Witnesses were called to the stand by Rose Wendland, as well as Robert’s court-appointed attorney, who, like Rose, argued that his feeding tube should be removed.  The trial concluded December 9, 1997 when Judge McNatt ruled in favor of Florence and Rebekah, commenting that he didn’t know whether he was saving Robert’s life or sentencing him to life.
