Prominent San Francisco defense attorney Melvin Belli agreed to represent Ruby free of charge. Some observers thought that the case could have been disposed of as a "murder without malice" charge (roughly equivalent to manslaughter), with a maximum prison sentence of five years. Ruby himself initially appeared not to be very concerned about the proceedings (which have led some researchers to believe that Ruby thought his Mafia associates would secretly help him win an acquittal or be given a reduced sentence.) Instead, Belli attempted to pro ...

The numbered street grid is far from perfect as some numbers are just skipped altogether in Riverdale; other nei ...
