Melvin Belli, Joe Tonahill, Phil Burleson and others spoke for Ruby; Henry Wade, Dallas County District Attorney, was the prosecutor, assisted by Jim Bowie and Bill Alexander. The presiding judge was Judge Joe B. Brown. The following appeared as witnesses: Frederick S. Carney, A. C. Green, Ray Zauber, Harry McCormick, Pierce McBride, Lonnie Hudkins and W. W. Mabra. Ruby's defense called witnesses to make the case that Dallas as a city was harmed by the assassination and the shooting of Oswald and that as such, the city could no longer offer an uncontaminated jury pool for Ruby's murder trial.
