Lundy Acquitted by Verdict of Jury in Douglass Bass Case
After two days of witness examination and hours of argument, the jury found Linewood W Lundy not guilty in the April shooting of Douglass Bass. Alva Short, Lundy’s brother in law, was convicted and began serving his sentence. Short claimed unwritten law and self defense. The defense argued Lundy was not present at the crime, with alibi witnesses supporting his location, while the state suggested a Lundy Short conspiracy. The case followed a tumultuous trial with mentions of family tragedies and a funeral attended by Lundy.
