Peace Corps country director Paul Sack, Nairobi pathologist Gerald Dockeray, and a professional photographer fly to Maswa, where the police inspector in charge of the case walks them through the scene and describes the potential eyewitness testimony. One witness saw Bill fighting with Peppy, and when the witness came close, Bill sent her away. Meanwhile, the bail hearing for Bill takes place in Mwanza. Although it would be most unusual to grant bail in a homicide case, Bill’s attorney argues that Bill’s health issues, pneumonia and depression, require his release. Bill is not released on bail. Peppy Kinsey’s body, accompanied by a Tanzanian police officer and Tom McHugh, is flown to Dar es Salaam.

“The Judge entered the court wearing a red robe and with a white wig on his head.” Major players, not already described, are examined at this point, especially Judge Harold Platt and the two assessors, one an American agriculture expert who has lived in Tanzania for six months, the other, a Tanzanian who has recently returned to Tanzania from graduate school in America as part of the famous Airlift to America, which was supported by the Kennedy family before Jack Kennedy became president and which was the vehicle by which Barack Obama’s father came to America for college. Defense attorneys Byron Georgiadis and Carroll Brewster have worked diligently before the trial to ensure that Dr. McHugh will be allowed to remain in court prior to his testimony.

The action takes place along a triangle between three towns in Tanzania. Mwanza, the third-largest city in Tanzania, sits on the shores of Lake Victoria at an altitude that provides a pleasant, temperate climate. The trial eventually will be held in Mwanza. Maswa, adjacent to the famous Serengeti National Park, is the site of Peppy’s death and where various preliminary activities take place. It is a small, dusty town. Dar es Salaam, is the site of the U.S. embassy and the Peace Corps headquarters in Tanzania. Communications between Tanzania and Washington, D.C., flow out of Dar es Salaam, the capital of Tanzania at the time, which is on the coast facing Zanzibar and the Indian Ocean.

The Kinseys’ group trained in the small southern Tanzanian town of Mbeya, where they learned about their school, health issues, travel problems, and more. Peppy talks to a another volunteer who has been teaching in the country for a year, and they discuss problems in Peppy’s marriage. The Kinseys finally arrive in Maswa to begin teaching at Binza Upper Primary School. Life is difficult there, especially with the headmaster, so they seek a transfer to another school, but they immerse themselves in school life, teaching, directing clubs, coaching, making new friends, and they eventually withdraw their transfer request. A new Peace Corps volunteer couple arrive nearby and describe their life and friendship with Bill and Peppy.

“If a Person is convicted of murder, the death penalty is obligatory.” Although Tanzanian criminal law is derived from the British colonial legal system, by the time of trial changes had been made. The Indian Codes—that is, Penal Code, Evidence Code, and certain civil codes—had been developed starting in the mid-1820s by legal scholars in England. These scholar took the unwritten common law of England and produced coherent, consistent codes to be used in the British colony of India. The Indian Codes were adopted in East Africa, including Tanganyika, in the early 1920s. This chapter describes the criminal law applicable to the Bill Kinsey case, including the interplay of customary law with the colonial-based evidence, criminal, and criminal procedure codes.

Betty Clemmer attended Mt. Holyoke with Peppy. She and her husband, Dan, are teachers in Mwanza as part of the Teachers for East Africa Program. The Clemmers welcomed the Kinseys into their home and introduced them to me. During the weekend before Peppy died, the Clemmers stayed with the Kinseys in Maswa. The Clemmers saw a happily married couple. Aileen Dower and her husband, Hal, were in the same training group with Peppy and Bill. Although the Dowers are stationed on the other side of Mwanza, Peppy and Aileen often met for lunch in Mwanza, and Peppy sought out Aileen’s marriage experience to understand her own marriage problems.

The Peace Corps was founded in 1961. The first problem faced was whether any country would ask for volunteers. To address this problem, Sargent Shriver, the first Peace Corps director, traveled early on to Africa to encourage requests and met Tanzanian president Julius Nyerere, who asked for engineers, and the second group of volunteers to arrive overseas landed in Tanzania in 1961. Tanzania became independent from Great Britain in 1961. The journey to independence, how it was governed in 1966 at the time of the Kinsey case, and relations between the United States and Tanzania are examined, with a discussion of the roles of Julius Nyerere, Paul Bomani, and Lady Marion Chesham. The case presents a potential international disaster for this country, still in its infancy, at a time when there are already strains over Nyerere’s “African socialism” and America’s role in the Congo.
