In Santa Monica, a mistrial was declared Tuesday in the case of 18-year-old Charles Lee Guy III charged with murdering Hollywood advertising executive Guy F. Roberts. Superior Judge Allen T. Lynch reset the trial for Nov. 13 after ruling a Santa Monica detective’s courtroom statement could not be disregarded by jurors. The detective testified about questioning Guy after the shooting and taking him to Billy Miles’s residence, hinting Miles might be the true killer. The judge dismissed the jury after defense objections, noting it would be too difficult for jurors to ignore the testimony.
Officials say Britain refused a Japanese request to suspend new nuclear tests in the Pacific in the coming weeks. Japan expressed regret in a note dated October 31. The court noted an implied promise to release Guy’s mother if he confessed. Mrs. Miles was held briefly the night of the August 15 shooting. A new jury will be selected to try Guy.
