Conviction Of Panther Is Reversed
The California court of appeal reversed Huey Newtons voluntary manslaughter conviction for killing Oakland Officer John Frey. The panel ruled the trial judge failed to instruct the jury on a key issue, prejudicing Newtons right to a fair trial. Newton, 28, is imprisoned at San Luis Obispo and denies parole while awaiting further action. The ruling may prompt a rehearing sought by state prosecutors.
