Judge Denies Acquittal Over Disturbing Panther Evidence
Circuit Court Judge Philip J. Romiti refused an immediate acquittal for Cook County State's Attorney Edward V. Hanrahan in a month-old conspiracy trial. The defense argued four newly discovered Black Panther statements contradict grand jury testimony and allege a cover up after the Dec 4, 1969 raid that left two Panthers dead. The judge ruled the motion premature and noted the statements may affect credibility after the prosecution rests.
