This trio suspected in the Shorter kidnapping and Monahan murder hide their faces in the
office of Police Chief William Parker. Seated from left to right: Emmett Perkins, Jack
Santo and Barbara Graham.

 

 

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.
