Roubick defense unfolds in Kvasnicka murder case
Albert Roubick, the discharged handyman accused, denies confessing to the Chicago jewelry merchant slaying and claims the crime was committed by an enemy. His attorney Simon Bybee says Kvasnicka was murdered by someone from Chicago or the county, with motive from marital strife and jealousy. Roubick has written a letter to Mrs. Krasnickavos, which may implicate others, while she proclaims innocence and remains at home with family as legal steps continue.
