Ruby Lawyers Prepare Appeals in Oswald Murder Case
In Dallas the Jack Ruby defense began formal appeals preparations for the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. Attorney Joe Tonahill aims to bring the case to the court within six months after Judge Joe B. Brown denied a new trial, months after Ruby was condemned to death for the November killing of Lee Harvey Oswald. If the state court rejects Ruby, the appeal would go to federal courts and observers expect a lengthy process. Brown had refused a defense request to elicit testimony from witnesses to impeach a key prosecution witness.
