Magee trial ends with outburst in Marin case
In San Francisco the Magee murder kidnap trial ended with a courtroom outburst as Judge Morton Colvin ordered the jury to leave. Magee shouted insults and was taken to a holding cell while the judge completed jury instructions and sent the panel to deliberate. Magee faces a life term if convicted, with parole effectively unattainable. The case stems from the 1970 Marin County courthouse escape that killed Judge Harold Haley and three others.
