Juror John Callahan said there was no case against the Soledad Brothers after an all white jury acquitted them 26 months after guard John Mills was killed at Soledad Prison. The defendants Fleeta Drumgo and John Clutchette faced murder charges in Mills’s death alongside George Jackson, who was killed later at San Quentin while awaiting trial. Angela Davis faced separate charges tied to the Marin County Civic Center shootout.
