Armchair Detectives. Over and over, Foreman alluded to an alleged conspiracy between Miami police and Mossler's other relatives to railroad the defendants and get control of the estate. The jury, well aware that Dade County (Miami) police are currently under fire for various scandals, quickly got the hint. To cap it all, the defense produced 1) an ex-Mossler handyman who said that he had seen the financier cavorting half naked with three youths; 2) an insurance agent who owned a white convertible, and had once lived with Mossler; 3) police testimony that Interior Decorator Fred Weissel, an alleged homosexual and owner of a white car, had been questioned after he was found beaten and bloody six miles from the scene on the night of the murder. In his melodramatic, five-hour summation, Foreman thundered that a "cabal" was out to get the defendants, strongly implied that the police were shielding Weissel. The all-male jury put in 16½ hours before it could agree. And much of the time was spent in theorizing about the possible guilt of Weissel, although the jurymen had heard little evidence connecting him with Mossler—a tribute to the mesmeric skill of Lawyer Foreman. As for Widow Mossler, she and her nephew are now free to enjoy a duly inherited $28 million of her husband's money.
