Judge sets low bond for Jimerson in 1978 murders case
Verneal Jimerson, 42, released from Cook County Jail on a $25,000 bond after the Illinois Supreme Court ordered a new trial for him in the Ford Heights killings of Larry Lionberg and Carol Sehmal. The case centers on a May 1978 kidnapping, rape, and execution-style shootings tied to a Homewood gas station. The judge and prosecutors debated bond given the brutal nature of the crimes while the witness Paula Gray had recanted then testified again. Jimerson had been on death row at Pontiac until the new trial order.
