Frank case rehearing sought after Georgia Supreme Court ruling
Be Nasee and TRIPLETS THRIVE ON ONE MEAL A DAY, HOLD BIRTHDAY PARTY wa Luther Rosser and Reuben Arnold were in conference Thursday for several hours completing the motion for a rehearing of arguments before the Supreme Court on a new trial for Leo Frank. They planned to submit the motion later. The motion cites a strong dissent by Justices Fish and Beck arguing Frank did not receive a fair trial. Felder will oppose the motion. Detective Burns discussed the case, saying he will conduct a thorough, impartial probe independent of prior work by local and state agencies. The report notes Burns may help clarify overlooked aspects, without aiming to exonerate Frank. The story also covers a major burglary sweep in Atlanta, with six store robberies explained, a Piedmont Avenue gang hideout, and bond conditions for three male suspects and a woman. One suspect remains hospitalized and unarraigned.
