The prosecution was assisted by the Assistant US Attorney, District of Arizona, Phoenix, Mr. David Pimsner.
It is to be noted that Schmidt of Kingman has reportedly served nine years in prison for child molestation case. He even appealed in Nebraska court of appeal for wrongful imprisonment, but his conviction was upheld then by the Nebraska Court of Appeals.
