Judge cites twins unlikely defense in racketeering case
Judge Bishop calls the defendant's case not mitigated by lack of a twin, noting two prior robberies at Piggly Wiggly on June 22, 1949 and McCartt on July 9. He deems both crimes peculiarly aggravated as store employees were trapped in a cold storage vault and crowded in a rest area. He asserts there are too many robberies in the area and cannot lighten the punishment.
