Two Years The Verdict In Weathers Case Atkinson Sentences
Alexander Weathers was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary by Judge Atkinson after a months long County Court case. The trial drew strong defense from Rappahannock attorney R. Fauntleroy and Horace Moffett, with Commonwealth's Attorney R. E. Byrd also presenting a forceful closing. A prior mistrial and a later guilty verdict followed, amid lively courtroom rhetoric. The Barton felonies case also shaded toward a four year term if agreed upon, with appeal possible.
