Was jack ruby let of his death sentence because he had lung cancer?
Ruby’s death sentence was overturned by a Texas court which ruled Ruby could not receive a fair trial in Dallas. The court stated Ruby should have received a “change of venue” and his trial should have taken place elsewhere. He was scheduled to be retried in February, 1967 in Wichita Falls, TX but he died before his 2nd trial could begin. Teachers don’t like Wikipedia since it can be changed by anyone and errors can happen. But for basic information to get your started, Wikipedia is wonderful. Ruby’s Wikipedia page has all the answers you need. Then you find other sources to confirm.
