New Indictments In Bribery Case Spark Federal Probe
In Los Angeles on June 4, reports say new indictments are expected in connection with juror bribery tied to the McNamara murder trial. A special grand jury was summoned to gather more evidence for the Darrow bribery case as well, with several individuals possibly named in true bills. Attorney Rogers cross examined Bert H. Franklin, focusing on timing of the McNamara brothers’ guilty plea and a meeting at a local hotel where a list including George Lockwood’s name was alleged to be shown. The defense contends Darrow could not have bribed Lockwood since the plea had already been agreed to before the meeting.
