County maps for new trial after Supreme Court refusal
The U S Supreme Court refused to hear Timothy Papp and left intact a Feb 1976 federal ruling ordering a new trial in the rape slaying of 9 year old Roxie Ann Keathley. Papp had argued rights violations during interrogation and the district court excluded a map of the grave site and related statements. The case proceeds toward a new trial within three to six months as noted by Lorain County officials.
