‘Cotton Club’ Trail Verdicts Turned In

Verdicts in the “Cotton Club” murder trial were turned in Friday by a Los Angeles Superior Court jury, but will not be disclosed until next week. The sealed verdict forms will be opened when Judge Curtis Rappe returns to court Monday, prosecution spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said.

The jury began deliberations July 10 in the case of Karen (Laynie) Greenberger, an admitted cocaine dealer who is charged with her ex-lover and two other men in the 1983 killing of New York producer Roy Radin, whose bullet-riddled body was found in a dry creek near Gorman. Prosecutors saya Greenberger hired three bodyguards to kill Radin because he threatened to cut her out of profits for the film “The Cotton Club.”
