Norris Back Behind Earl Norris in Alabama Parole Case
Norris, a 32 year old former principal known as Earl Norris, has been delinquent and returned to Kilby Prison after nearly nine months on parole. Alabama pardon parole chairman Alex Smith says Norris lied and quotes troubled residence and employment issues with multiple states declining parole supervision. The case stems from nine Negroes accused of raping two white women near Scottsboro in 1931, originally sentenced to death then commuted to life.
