 * There's a whole book (by a reporter and a professor) and a raft of newspaper and magazine articles on this murder. It was perhaps the highest-profile trial in the country while it was happening, and even spawned conspiracy theories involving Hillary Clinton's participation. I don't have the time or interest to write it up myself. I suggest that you take it up and do something productive instead of stalking me.Pokey5945 (talk) 23:36, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep This was an important trial (in Black Panther history) and Sams was one of three murderers along with Warren Kimbro and Lonnie McLucas who also have articles. Sourcing no problem see Google Books. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 07:03, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep As observed above, Sams was one of the major figures in one of the most nationally (and internationally) prominent trials in the early 1970s. Somewhere along the line the original reference got deleted, and it never was cited specifically for inline citations as it should have been, but the fix is to fix the inline citations, not delete the article.

 * Keep - major figure in internatinal prominent trial.--BabbaQ (talk) 14:15, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
