Jury Finds Matticks Guilty of Arson in Missouri Case
The circuit court jury deliberated about 20 minutes and found Liga Matticks of Edina Missouri guilty of arson for burning Mrs Roze Justus home at 703 State Street on February 12. Alibi evidence was presented, and the jury appears to have believed his claim of innocence. Separate proceedings saw David Lloyd plead guilty to forged check charges with multiple indictments, while Franklin May’s potential dismissal leaves his case unresolved.
