MINNEAPOLIS— A hearing where a Minnesota male was anticipated to beg guilty to concealing a taken set of ruby sandals that Judy Garland put on in “The Wizard of Oz” was delayed forever Wednesday after his lawyer informed the court that the male is hospitalized.
united state Area Court Patrick Schiltz gave the continuation at the demand of the lawyer for Jerry Hal Saliterman, 77, of Crystal, that was intending to transform his appeal to guilty at a hearing that was set up for this coming Friday.
Defense legal representative John Edge claimed Saliterman was hospitalized Jan. 3 “for lack of ability to stroll and blood poisoning,” an infection that can be serious. He composed that Saliterman continued to be hospitalized Wednesday which medical professionals do not understand when he will certainly be offered. Federal district attorneys did not object.
Saliterman attended his accusation Monday by means of video clip from what appeared like a medical facility area. He remained in a mobility device and on additional oxygen last March at his initial court look. He was billed after that with burglary of a significant art work and witness meddling for his duty in the ruby sandals situation.
The sandals were taken in 2005 from the Judy Garland Gallery in her home town of Grand Rapids. Their location continued to be an enigma for almost 13 years till the FBI recuperated them in 2018. They brought a document for flick souvenirs of $32.5 million last month, according to Heritage Public auctions.
The male that took them, Terry Jon Martin, currently 77, of Grand Rapids, begged guilty in 2023. He was punished last January to time offered due to his inadequate wellness.
