Prisoner McCourt spared 40 year sentence in mercy ruling
In Olympia Washington James Mc Court, once jailed for robbery, had his 40 year term wiped out by a supreme court ruling declaring his conviction illegal. He now faces the rest of his life on a murder conviction. The case stands as an unusual legal development. In New Orleans a murder trial looms as a stepson dispute leads to a killing charge against Peter Gendusa aged 23 in the argument over ironing a shirt. Also in New Orleans Milas Bally Scofield asks for pasture pensions for veteran horses with U. S. government mail horses to be sold at auction.
