Cameras record court drama
Associated Press · [ca. January 1956]
News cameras record sentencing drama in the abortion death case of Mrs. Doris Silver Ostreicher while her mother, Gertrude, sobs alongside husband Herman Silver as she is freed in her daughter's death. Second dramatic shot (Below) depicts collapse of Mrs. Gertrude Schwartz (arrow) as she received indeterminate sentence. It was the first time cameras were allowed in Philadelphia criminal court. No flashbulbs were used and camera clicks were hardly audible.
