The Trial of Jack Ruby - Retssagen mod Jack Ruby
In 1964, Jack Ruby was brought to trial for the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald. In that same year, he was convicted and sentenced to death. In 1966, the judgment of death was reversed by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, and he was granted a second trial. On January 3, 1967, Jack Ruby died from the effects of galloping lung cancer before his second trial could begin.
Retssagen mod Jack Ruby startede den 17. februar 1964 og sluttede den 13. marts 1964. Dagen efter blev Ruby kendt skyldig i mordet på Lee Harvey Oswald. Han blev idømt dødsstraf. Dommen blev appelleret og sagen trak derefter i langdrag. I januar 1967 døde Ruby af pludselig cancer på Parkland Memorial Hospital - sammen sted som Lee Harvey Oswald og John F. Kennedy.
