Supreme Court To Hear Ingram Case June 14
The Georgia Supreme Court Monday docketed the appeal from Mrs. Rosa Lee Ingram and her two sons in the murder of a white tenant farmer for the week of June 14.
The Ingrams were first sentenced to die following a hearing in Schley Superior Court, but following hearing for new trial before Judge W. M Harper had their death sentences commuted to life imprisonment.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People later appealed the life sentences through Attorney A T Walden, contending that the finding of the trial jury was not based on evidence in the trial.
