Description
Defendant was arrested February 25, 1980, in Great Falls, Montana, and was charged with felony theft. He pleaded not guilty and was released on his own recognizance. Trial was set for June 30, but was vacated and reset for August 25, 1980. On August 11, 1980, defendant was arrested for robbery. Both crimes were reported in the Great Falls Tribune. One article, published 12 days before trial, pictured defendant in handcuffs, and in an article appearing a week before trial, several community businessmen were reported as being critical of the presiding district judge for having released defendant on his own recognizance. The remaining articles were routine news releases concerning the crimes allegedly committed by defendant.
