William Calley's lawyers plan to develop this week the defense version of what happened at My Lai. DECEMBER7, 1970 Phone 9-5247 They have asked the government to produce eight witnesses on each of four days beginning Thursday so they can be inter- viewed before taking the wit- ness stand at Calley's court martial. The prosecution said it ex- pects to call its final wit- nesses no later than Thursday. Calley, on trial for his life, is accused of murdering 102 Vietnamese villagers. In the first three weeks of testimony, Calley has been pictured by the prosecution as ordering his men to round up men, women and children into two groups, then gunning them down at point-blank range with bursts of automatic fire and single shots of his M16 rifle.
