Court Overrules Defense for New Trial in Pritchard Case
Judge Vandeveer in circuit court denied the defense motion for a new trial in State versus Walter Pritchard on grand larceny charges. Pritchard was given a $2500 bond and 66 days to appeal to the Supreme Court. He proclaimed innocence and sought a new trial, while the judge noted the unlikelihood of his story and 12 jurors’ verdict, potentially leading to 1 to 14 years in prison if Gibson circuit court judgment is upheld.
