U.S. prosecutors who introduced Russian spy intrigue into a case of a couple accused of living for decades in Hawaii under stolen identities are now saying they don’t want jurors to hear about the foreign uniforms the couple was photographed in
FILE - This combination of undated photos provided by the United States District Court District of Hawaii shows Walter Glenn Primose, left, also known as Bobby Edward Fort, and his wife, Gwynn Darle Morrison, also known as Julie Lyn Montague, purportedly in KGB, the former Russian spy agency, uniforms. U.S.
There is no indication in court papers why the couple in 1987 assumed the identities of deceased children, who would have been more than a decade younger than them. Prosecutors last month filed a motion “to preclude examination or testimony concerning Defendants wearing or being photographed in foreign military uniforms.” Prosecutors said they were irrelevant to the charges and U.S. District Judge Leslie Kobayashi agreed.
Alexander Silvert, a retired federal defender for the Hawaii district who is not involved in the case, said it sounds like prosecutors overreacted to the photos.
