Once again Patterson was to be the first to be tried, and once again he was convicted, though his sentence this time was seventy-five years in prison. Clarence Norris was tried next; he was convicted and sentenced to death. The trials of Andrew Wright and Charles Weems followed. The verdict for each was guilty, and they were sentenced to ninety-nine years and seventy-five years, respectively. Ozie Powell, who had assaulted a police officer on his return to prison after Patterson's most recent trial, was tried for assault only. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to twenty years. The prosecution declined to pursue charges against the other four defendents, and they were released.
