Conviction of Priest Set Aside
The Wisconsin Supreme Court set aside the 1967 conviction of Rev. James E. Groppi for resisting arrest during Milwaukee civil rights marches. The court ruled venue changes need not be barred by a misdemeanor classification, a decision later influenced by the U.S. Supreme Court, which urged fair trial protections against prejudicial publicity. The case returns to Milwaukee for potential retrial or dismissal.
