Vernon Goodwin May Face Freedom After Evidence Shortage
Vernon Goodwin of Paducah, once convicted as an accomplice to an attempted arson at his own implement company, may be freed due to insufficient evidence. He was sentenced to two years in prison in 1956, upheld in 1957, then reversed in 1957 on lack of evidence, with a second rehearing denied last week by the Court of Criminal Appeals. The case stemmed from the September 17, 1956 attempted burn of the business.
