October 30, 1971 - Los Angeles: Manson family member
Steve Grogan, 20, smiles slightly
as he is led from
the courtroom
after he was convicted of first degree murder of movie
stuntman Donald
(Shorty) Shea whose
body has never been found. The jury of eight
men
and four women deliberated just eight hours before
returning the
verdict. The
panel apparently had no problem with the "no body" angle
of the case.
Steve Grogan shown on December 23, 1971, when he was
sentenced.

The victim
Donald "Shorty" Shea was a Hollywood stuntman, actor
and victim of the
Charles Manson murders.
Shea's remains were discovered in December 1977
when Steve Grogan agreed to
tell
authorities the location
of the body. Sgt. Bill Gleason, LASO
Homicide, Deputy
Coroner John Mossberger and Deputy Sheriff Barry
Jones, LASO Homicide, were
on the site when Shea was exhumed in 1977. Grogan was released shortly
after the
discovery of Shea's remains in exchange for his cooperation.
