Ford's court. His trial before the 10 women and two men on the jury had consumed three months and 5200 pages of testimony. Deputy District Attorney Mark Brandler called 90 witnesses for the prosecution. Davis was defended by Deputy Public Defender Richard Buckley. The state charged that Davis collected $1,100,000, but produced only 15 hand-made cars. During the trial the jury was taken to witness a demonstration of the Davis three-wheeler by Davis himself."
