George Jackson (1941-1971), one of the

so-called Soledad brothers, was on trial for murder when his younger brother burst into the courtroom

with an automatic weapon, freeing Jackson and two others. They took with them the judge, D.A. and

three jurors as hostage. As they attempted to flee, a hail of gunfire killed the hostages. Angela Davis

was implicated in the deaths because she had purchased one of the weapons.
