The Case of Herbert Boyle

Herbert boyle only faced trial for gale smith's murder. In court, he was depicted as mean and unlikable with perverted sexual urges. His wife and daughter expressed their concerns that boyle would harm them if he should be found not guilty. A foreign fibre on jane's body matched a blanket from boyle's house in oklahoma. There was also a rope fibre found at the crime scene that matched a length of rope in boyle's truck. After deliberating for 20 minutes, the jury found boyle guilty of the rape, kidnapping and murder of gale Smith. He was sentenced to death.
