Notes

Additional description and context: Transcript of the State vs. Jack Ruby: Statement of Facts: Jury Trial, Volume 8.

Melvin Belli, Joe Tonahill and Phil Burleson represented the defendant, Jack Ruby; Henry Wade, Dallas County District Attorney, was the prosecutor, assisted by Jim Bowie, Bill Alexander and Frank Watts. The presiding judge was Judge Joe B. Brown.

At 8 p.m. on March 13, 1964, the Court's Charge was read to the jury and the closing statements began. All seven lawyers spoke, starting with one for the State, alternating with one for the Defense, and so on, until the final two speakers were Melvin Belli and Henry Wade, in that order. Closing statements were concluded at 1:10 a.m. on March 14, 1964.

The transcript does not include a recounting of what happened when the jury returned: the jury found Jack Ruby guilty of murder with malice and sentenced him to death.
