Dorado Decision Gives Robert Webster New Hope
Robert Webster faces a third retrial in Long Beach Superior Court this week for the 1963 strangulation murder of a divorced 38 year old woman in Long Beach. He had prior life sentences for 1946 and 1963 killings, with appeals overturning one conviction on legal grounds. The case raises questions about parole eligibility and his alleged pattern of violence, while defense and prosecution offer contrasting portraits of the suspect.
