Trial in Liuzzo case proceeds with Moton cross examination
The courtroom moved as Moton refused to name who rode in the car with him after Mrs Liuzzo drove from Montgomery to Selma. Prosecutors pressed to view items in Liuzzo’s purse while Capt. Dixon testified on a license found there. The state expects eight more witnesses, including Gary Thomas Rowe, with a verdict possible Friday. The Alabama Supreme Court rejected disqualifying jurors who doubted white civil rights workers, warning against setting a precedent that could hamper future trials.
