Synopsis
As the hearing continues, Wonder Woman wants to escape to see her husband, Major Steve Trevor (ret.), who had been injured from events in Infinity, Inc. (DC, 1985 series) #1-10, but stays instead. The Spectre makes a sudden appearance to free the JSAers from the hearing, but they decline, since they want to figure out why Batman accused them of treason as he did. By the end of this Chapter, a sudden witness for the prosecution, a surprise even to Dick Grayson, appears: longtime JSA foe, the Wizard.
