...murder trials without an acquittal. Yet when the verdict came last week, it was Defense Attorney F. Lee Bailey-himself undefeated in 19 homicide cases (TIME, Dec. 9)-who shouted "Hooray!" After just four hours and 27 minutes of deliberation, a Freehold, N.J., jury acquitted Dr. Carl Coppolino, 34, of first-degree murder in the 1963 death of William Farber, 51, the husband of Coppolino's mistress...
...brash, bright F. (for Francis) Lee Bailey is the hottest criminal lawyer in the U.S. Last month he got a Cleveland jury to acquit Dr. Sam Sheppard of killing his wife; this week comes the sex-tinged murder trial of Dr. Carl Coppolino in New Jersey; after that, the Boston Strangler. Only six years out of law school, Bailey already compares himself to "Clarence" (meaning Darrow), though his monumental self-assurance might not yet convince William Jennings (meaning Bryan...

Surprise Bride. On Aug. 28, Carmela Coppolino died. Again the cause was listed as a heart attack. The death certificate was signed by Juliette Karow, a Sarasota physician, who said that Carl told her when she arrived that Carm had suffered chest pains the previous day. The listed beneficiary of $65,000 worth of insurance on his wife, Carl, 30 days after her death, applied for a license to marry-but not, as it turned out, Good Neighbor Marge. On Oct. 7 Coppolino wed handsome Mary Gibson, 38, whom he had met at his bridge lessons, and who was rumored...
Last week a New Jersey grand jury returned an indictment accusing Coppolino of having "feloniously murdered" Farber. Police believe that Carmela was pressured or duped into signing the death certificate. Days later, a grand jury in Sarasota handed down an indictment charging that Carmela had died from a "premeditated" act by Carl. Receiving reporters in her dinette, Marge insisted: "I loved my husband, not Carl...
