Overview
A Minnesota man's impending guilty plea concerning a pair of stolen ruby slippers from 'The Wizard of Oz' has been postponed indefinitely following his hospitalization due to severe health conditions, including sepsis. Jerry Hal Saliterman, 77, was set to plead guilty in court but must wait until he recovers. The slippers were stolen in 2005, and after nearly 13 years, they were recovered in 2018, later fetching a record $32.5 million in an auction. Saliterman, charged with theft and witness tampering, had previously attended court via video from his hospital bed.
