Protests Delay In Goldsby Execution
Gov. J. P. Coleman regrets U S Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren stayed the execution of Robert Lee Goldsby in Mississippi for the 1954 shooting of Mrs. Bryant Nelms. He contrasts Belina's case, delaying Belina's sentence to life, as self defense or manslaughter while Goldsby acted in cold blood. Belina’s case remains separate, with Gov. Coleman noting uncertainty over aggressor and self defense, as Smith County court discussions continue.
