Way Cleared for Execution of Sex Killer
The Supreme Court refused to reconsider its April 7 ruling upholding the conviction of 70 year old Fred Stroble of Los Angeles for the sex murder of 6 year old Linda Joyce Glacoft in 1949. California is free to carry out the death sentence. Stroble’s lawyers challenged a coerced confession and improper counsel and accused the late District Attorney Simpson of pretrial propaganda. Justie Tom C Clark for a 6 to 3 majority rejected the arguments.
