 Kenneth Wickliff is accused of
trespassing while seeking fugitive
A trespassing trial that
could test the legality of tactics used by private
fugitive hunters began Thursday with a defense attorney
showing one of his feet to the jury.
"The prosecution would
have you believe this is a case of the felonious
foot," said defense attorney Richard Capone, whose
client, Kenneth Wickliff, is accused of
using a foot to force his way into an East Greenwich home
at 3:30 a.m. on Sept. 7 while looking for a bail jumper.
But when all evidence is
presented in the case, "I'm confident . . . you will
find that it's just another foot," Capone said in his
opening argument. To dramatize his point, Capone raised
his left leg and rested his foot on a front rail of the
jury box.
