Teen-Age Boys
Rape Case.
Being Watched
TAMPA—Robert W. Sanders,
field director for the National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, said
this week the NAACP will be
watching closely the case of a
13-year-old Negro boy who was
recently convicted of criminally
assaulting a 42-year-old white
woman last Feb. 1, largely on
the testimony of his confessed
teen-age companion in the
crime.
The boy, Ronald Antonio Cog
man, was found guilty by an
all-white Circuit Court panel on
July 10, after only 45 minutes
of deliberation. The all-male
Jury, however, entered a recom
mendation of mercy. The com
panion, Mitchell Charles Cabre
ro, IS, pleaded guilty. Both are
awaiting completion of the pre
sentence investigation before
learning their punishment.
During the Cogman trial, Rob
ert L. Gilder, Tampa NAACP
Branch president, issued a
strong statement protesting the
State Attorney's decision to
prosecute the youths on a rape
charge. After pointing out that
in Florida rape is a felony
which still carries the death
penalty and that nearly all of
those executed for the crime
have been Negroes, Gilder said:
"The NAACP does not con
done the committing of crimes
by individuals, and although
crime is not racial in its char
acter, we cannot condone the
efforts of those officials who
would go beyond the call of
duty to obtain confessions or
to continue or extend legalized
efforts to lynch by the use of
our courts."
Ilobt. Mitcham, a white attor
ney hired to defend Cogman by
his family, is planning to appeal
the verdict. As of yet, the
NAACP has not been asked to
officially assist in the case.
