Still Hope For Frank As Denied He Appeals Murder Verdict
Attorneys for Leo M. Frank, convicted of the Mary Phagan murder, argue the constitutional right to be present at the verdict was ignored. The Georgia Supreme Court will hear arguments on an extraordinary motion for a new trial, with possible further appeals to the United States Supreme Court if denied. The court previously ruled that the motion rests in the trial judge’s discretion and refused to grant a new trial on newly discovered evidence. The case centers on hair comparison testimony and alleged confessions, all contested by Frank’s defense and later recanted by witnesses.
