Description
The defendants, Chris Joyner and J.T. Thomas, were indicted for the murders of Anthony Seyl and James C. Starr. They were
tried in the circuit court of Cook County and the jury found them guilty of the murder of Starr and not guilty as to Seyl.
They were sentenced to the State Penitentiary for a term of not less than 30 nor more than 60 years. At about 4:00 A.M., on August 22, 1968, the defendants and three other persons were leaving a drive-in restaurant in a car
driven by Joyner. At that time, another car, driven by Starr, in which Seyl was a passenger, was entering the parking lot
in the same traffic lane as the Joyner car. The defendants, and the others in their car, were black; Seyl and Starr were white.
