LOUISVILLE, KY. - On .
December 9, WUie Burnett wfll
stand trial for the second time on
charges of raping a white woman -a
crime he did not commit.
Burnett, a Black man, was
convicted of the charge in June,
1974-in the face of over warning
evidence that he was not ue.fQSn
involved. He wis sentenced to 'life ,
without parole" and incarcerated at
EddyviEe State Prison. .
Last spring, the Kentucky Court
of Appeals overturned his
conviction. The ruling said mat
there was not enought evidence
that Burnett was the man involved,
and that the trial judge erred in
allowing testimony about a
previous conviction. A few months
later, Burnett was released on bond
pending a new trial.
Officials have offered to plea
bargain with Burnett. If he will
plead guilty to the charge, they
have promised to set the sentence
at time already served. But Burnett
refuses to consider this, even
though he has already spent 18
months behind bars on the charge.
"I won't say I did something if I
didn't do it-even if I have to gc
back to Eddyville," he said. He has
already passed two lie detector
tests, and is asking his attorney to
arrange for him to take "truth
serum."
At the original trial, burnett was
identified by the woman as the man
who attacked her in the restroom
of a laundromat. Previously, she
had told police that the rapist was
quite a bit shorter than her
husband. Burnett is taller.
Others who were present at the
laundromat at the time of the
alleged attack testified that a Black
man had strolled out of the
washroom a few minute before the
woman did, but that she had made
no outcry or comment of any kind.
Instead, she continued doing her
laundry. An of the witnesses except
the woman stated unequivocally
that Burnett was not the man who
preceded her out of the washroom.
' A movement to free Burnett is
developing in Louisville.
His supporters believe he is
innocent, and should not have to
stand trial a second time on the
same charges. They see this case as
part of a general resurgence of the
racist use of the rape charge in the
South.
They are asking the
Commonwealth's Attorney in
Louisville to drop the charge
against Burnett before it comes to
trial in December.
