Murder Trial Rescheduled For Crockett
Louis Lee Crockett, 35, once condemned to the gas chamber for murder, has a new trial scheduled in District Court for January 13. Attorneys Oscar Goodman and Ian Ross were reappointed after withdrawal. The case stems from the May 16 1967 shotgun killing of undercover agent Curtis Wheeler, with Floyd Hamlet identifying Cy Lee as the shooter before fleeing. Hamlet later faced perjury charges and life imprisonment on an habitual criminal ruling. Crockett’s first trial marked the first gas chamber verdict by a local jury in 13 years.
