Papp gets one year for shooting at automobile party
Ulysses Papp will serve one year in Deer Lodge penitentiary after being convicted of firing at an automobile party on April 16. The verdict followed a trial that began Tuesday, with the jury deciding after five hours. Earlier trials had ended with a hung jury and an acquittal. The defense sought a directed verdict of not guilty, arguing insufficient evidence tying Papp to the shooting. The case overlapped with other local proceedings, including Robbery charges against two African American defendants and additional arraignments in Judge Donlan’s department.
