Habeas Corpus Petition Denied In Danbury Case
Superior Court Judge David M. Shea denied John M. Lawrence of New York a habeas corpus petition after five weeks of testimony. Lawrence sought dismissal of Circuit Court charges stemming from his Sept. 3 arrest for distributing pro-Arab literature in Danbury. The judge said Lawrence attempted to bypass orderly Circuit Court procedures to obtain vindication of rights, a move he deemed an extreme perversion of the judicial process. The decision also touched on conduct by New York police officials tied to a fugitive warrant in one of several complaints by Lawrence.

Extradition dispute in Danbury over habeas corpus ruling
Judge Shea criticized the New York extradition process and a Danbury police affidavit as misleading in a habeas corpus case. The proceeding centered on Harold E. Hegstrom’s administrator and Lawrence, arrested on Granville Avenue while distributing pamphlets supporting an Arab position in the Israel Arab dispute, with potential civil rights implications.
