Description
The accused stood emotionless in court as the jury read its verdict of "Guilty without a recommendation of mercy". Both Jack Santo (left) and Emmett Perkins were sentenced to death. Barbara Graham won a delay in sentencing by obtaining a new attorney. She faces similar death sentence if the judge denies her a new trial.
