Vindication Victory
The Bible says: “And
the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast
out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation,
and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood
of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.” Revelation 12:8-11
(KJV)
On May 2, 1962, a dramatic advertisement appeared in the San Francisco examiner:
“I don’t want my husband to die in the gas chamber for a crime he did not commit. I will therefore offer my services
for 10 years as a cook, maid, or housekeeper to any leading attorney who will defend him and bring about his vindication.”
One of San Francisco’s greatest attorneys, Vincent Hallinan, read or heard about the ad and contacted Gladys Kidd, who
had placed it. Her husband, Robert Lee Kidd, was about to be tried for the slaying of an elderly antique dealer. Kidd’s
fingerprints had been found on a bloodstained ornate sword in the victim’s shop.
During the trial, Hallinan proved that the antique dealer had not been killed by the sword, and that Kidd’s fingerprints
and blood on the sword got there because Kidd had once toyed with it while playfully dueling with a friend when they were
both out shopping. The jury, after 11 hours, found Kidd to be not guilty.
Attorney
Hallinan refused Gladys Kidd’s offer of 10 years’ servitude.
I want
the great Physician, Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, Son & Holy Spirit at my side when I stand in judgement.
