Jerry Hal Saliterman, 77, was expected to plead guilty to hiding stolen ruby slippers from 'The Wizard of Oz', but his hearing was postponed due to hospitalization.
Saliterman's defense attorney reported that he is hospitalized for inability to walk and sepsis, leading to the indefinite postponement of the plea hearing.
The ruby slippers were stolen in 2005, with their recovery occurring in 2018. They fetched a $32.5 million record at auction, highlighting their significant cultural value.
A fellow individual involved in the ruby slippers theft, Terry Jon Martin, pleaded guilty in 2023, receiving a sentence of time served due to his failing health.
