Minister Befriend James Marion Hearing Set Before Midland Grand Jury
The Rev. L. C. Fredrick of Lubbock plans to address the Midland grand jury on September 12 to argue for James Lee Marion's innocence. Marion, 24, was convicted in 1964 of killing Mrs. Fred Turner in Midland in 1963 and now seeks new legal counsel as his current defense team faces scrutiny. Fredrick reports $235 in donations for Marion’s case, largely small contributions, and he hopes to advance Marion’s appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. Meanwhile, Bailey Mayo has been promoted to head the Post SCS unit, replacing Gary Reed.
