Notable case ends with mixed outcomes for defendants
International attention followed a complex trial where eight defendants were sentenced to death, four freed, and four given prison terms for rape. Ozie Fowell received 20 years for attacking a deputy sheriff, while Wright, jailed 99 years, was paroled in 1944 and later revoked in 1947 for reckless driving. A separate case involved a 18 year old sentenced to prison for a fatal crash in Narrows Virginia, and a physician awaiting possible release on health grounds.
