DeWitt u soudu nevypovídal. Nikdy ho nechytli při činu, dokonce ani doznání některé z jeho holek. Včetně jisté Katherine Lakeové.
DeWitt never spoke the entire trial, never coughing up the dough even after damning character testimony from some of his girls including one Katherine Lake, formerly of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and looking to go straight.
