Angela Davis murder kidnapping trial enters jury deliberations
The San Jose jury began deliberations in the Angela Davis case after 47 days of trial. Miss Davis, free on bail, joined supporters outside as Judge Arnason instructed the all white panel on verdicts for murder kidnapping and conspiracy. Prosecutors said she conspired with 17 year old Jonathon Jackson to free his brother George, and offered letters and a diary as proof of a passionately driven plot. Four witnesses placed Davis with Jackson near the courthouse and at San Quentin the day before the shootings.
