Twisting the truth at Buck vs. Bell, Paul Lombardo
Interviewee: Paul Lombardo. Twisting the truth at Buck vs. Bell.
The testimony against Carrie Buck said that she was feebleminded, and that she was a moral delinquent. In fact she had no mental defect, and her moral delinquency was an assumption based on the fact that she had been raped and had a child without being married. Additionally, the lawyers in the case colluded, to ensure that no evidence would be presented in her behalf.
