In a second trial before Judge Perry on August 12, 1964, Abraham Bolden was convicted on all three counts. The prosecution’s case featured testimony by indicted counterfeiter Joseph Spagnoli. In his own later trial for counterfeiting, held before the same Judge Perry, Spagnoli shocked the court by confessing on the witness stand that he had perjured himself when he testified against Bolden.[238] He said Prosecutor Richard Sikes had told him he should lie.[239]
