Florida Court Rape Trial Sees Racial Tension and Delays
The Florida courtroom scene grew tense as defendants aged 16 to 24 entered the rear of the courthouse on a humid day while spectators and 25 newsmen filled the main floor. Prosecution sought continuance as Willian Collinsworth, 24, and Patrick Scarborough, 20, pleaded insanity for the May 2 assault on Florida A. & M. student Morida A. The four youths allegedly dragged the victim from a car and raped her, with guards, witnesses, and a testifying influenza-recovering girl who faced Florida law restricting rape victim names.
