Indefinite sentences challenged in federal suit
San Quentin convict Burgener and co counsel ask federal court to strike down California indeterminate sentence law arguing it deprives prisoners of speedy trial due process and equal protection. They seek fixes by the sentencing court and release for those who have met minimum terms. A separate nationwide strike by AT and T workers, blocked by a settlement, left 50,000 Western Electric staff on strike as talks continue.
