Edmondson's long legal fight over robbery and escape penalties
Edmondson, linked to a J C Penney case in Springfield in 1961, faced a 1d year sentence and an escape conviction that led to a two year term. He appealed thrice to the state Supreme Court, with the 1971 ruling upholding the county conviction but crediting 1,885 days served. A separate mistrial bid failed after a juror spoke to a witness. Widely described as a model prisoner, he moved from the state penitentiary to a Rolla halfway house after five months of the two-year escape term, while pursuing ongoing work toward parole.
