Boston judge bars reporting details in Susan Lane murder trial
In a preliminary ruling the judge restricted reporting on descriptions of Susan Lane and evidence presented. Lane, once an honors student at Braundels University and listed on the FBI’s Most Wanted list, is charged in the murder of Boston policeman Walter Schroeder during a 1979 bank robbery. The judge said a careful balance is needed to avoid prejudicing the jury while allowing essential proceedings to proceed. An impromptu press conference outside the courtroom occurred with mixed statements from involved parties.
