Maryland governor commutes Bryant death sentence to life
Gov. McKeldin commuted Eugene E Bryant to life imprisonment for first degree murder in the 1951 slaying of Joan Mane Ruzta. The 22 year old, born in a string of head injuries, was deemed to have a defective mental condition. The decision cited testimony from psychiatrists and urged judicial review in serious cases. Earlier trial records show Bryant was found guilty in Howard County Circuit Court and sentenced to death, with the commutation marking a rare clemency act amid debates on appellate review.
