Judge reserves decision on Blizzard plea in Kanawha Logan cases
Judge S. H. Sharp kept Blizzard's special plea on the murder accessory charge undecided after hearing arguments. The defense urged that the same facts used in a treason trial bar a new murder charge, while prosecutors argued the offenses differ and noted the broader record. The court also overruled a motion to discharge Blizzard from identical Logan and Kanawha indictments.
