Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Robert J. Gorman
I did a lot of cleanup on this article, which came to my attention due to copyvios in the original version.  I was going to argue for a keep based on argument before the ''US'' Supreme Court.  Now that I see the case was before the ''Illinois'' Supreme Court, I just took a look at the Chicago papers from 1956 and found out that Eaton was not released because of an appellate court decision.  In actuality, the prosecuting attorney obtained a confession from one of the real criminals and then petitioned the trial court to have Eaton released.  Gorman was involved, but it appears that the person primarily responsible for Eaton's release was the prosecutor.  I feel even more strongly now that Gorman lacks sufficient |notability.  Perhaps the case of People v. Eaton is notable, having been the subject of a TV documentary, and it might be appropriate to include some detail of Gorman's biography there as Eaton's attorney, but I don't think a standalone article on Gorman is appropriate based on the lack of notability in his own right
