Murder trial of 32 year old Newberry postponed to October
Virginia circuit court granted a continuance in the murder case of 32 year old L L Newberry due to difficulty securing a full jury panel. The trial, tied to the January 1949 killing of his sister-in-law Mrs Theroyn Newberry, was postponed after judges and lawyers cited jury availability issues. Ralph A Newberry, her husband, was already convicted of murder and sentenced to 20 years and awaits Supreme Court review.
