William Lozano's first conviction in Miami was overturned on grounds the jury may have feared further violence. The retrial was sent to Orlando. But because of the Los Angeles riots, the case was sent to Tallahassee to get more blacks on the jury. Later, the case was sent back to Orlando after Tallahassee civic leaders complained of the potential for violence. Florida's high court said one circuit judge did not have the authority to override another's order. This article is copyright 1992 The Los Angeles Times Home Edition.
