Steinmetz slaying case draws defense by Leibowitz
Simon Leibowitz, veteran defense counsel in the Cottsboro case, is retained to defend Joseph Steinmetz accused of killing his year old bride and a Catholic priest in New York. Steinmetz appeared in General Sessions with a plea of not guilty as Judge Donnellan clashed with Leibowitz over the youth’s claimed ignorance of the gravity of his act. The case centers on a shooting at the Knights of Columbus hotel following a drinking party and a purported letter from the girl's father that could affect a defense.
