State will seek testimony from accused in Reed case
In Selma Alabama four men face state murder charges for the fatal beating of Rev James J Reed as federal officials pursue civil rights violations. Prosecutor Richard McLeod indicated he may compel testimony from one defendant while defense cites self incrimination. Witness Edgar Stripling was ruled incompetent to testify after medical testimony cited schizophrenia and potential inability to distinguish truth from fantasy.
