He is remembered for presiding over the 1969 trial of Clay Shaw for conspiracy in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Early LifeHaggerty was the son of Edward A. Haggerty Sr. (1884 -1970), a longtime clerk of the New Orleans criminal district court, and Georgianna O’Neil (1888 -1964). He had two sisters (Dorthy and Bessie) and a brother (Daniel). He graduated from St. Aloysius High School in 1932 and attended Harvard University before receiving his law degree from Loyola University Law School in 1940. During World War II, Haggerty served for three years in the US Navy, participating in the invasions of Saipan and Tinian in the Pacific. After the war, Haggerty worked as an assistant in the District Attorney’s Office in New Orleans. He married Yolande Millet in 1947 – they never had children. Edward’s younger brother, Daniel B Haggerty (1919-1984) also worked with him in the criminal court as a clerk for many years. Haggerty was elected to the bench in 1956 to fill the term of Judge Fred Oser, who retired. He was elected to a full term in 1960. [1] Haggerty was chief prosecutor in the Diddie Woolfolk Cooper murder trial in 1954. [2] Clay Shaw TrialHaggerty was the presiding judge over the trial of Clay Shaw, who was charged with being a co-conspirator in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The trial took place in New Orleans in February 1969. Jim Garrison was the chief prosecutor of the case. Clay Shaw was a war veteran and a New Orleans businessman who founded the International Trade Mart. According to Garrison, Shaw supposedly conspired with Lee Harvey Oswald and David Ferrie (and others) in murdering the President. Garrison arrested Shaw in March 1967, just several days after David Ferrie had suddenly died while the investigation was underway. Judge Haggerty had to intervene at one point in the trial, when the prosecution sought to bring in a fingerprint card as evidence against Shaw. Haggerty ruled that the fingerprints were inadmissible, because the police officers who arrested Shaw did not allow his lawyer to be present during the fingerprinting. Haggerty also announced that the arresting officer had failed to inform Shaw that he had the right to remain silent before questioning him about his supposed alias name of `Clay Betrand´ a name that was mentioned in the Warren Commission report. The trial lasted throughout February 1969. After the prosecution and defence presented their cases, the 14-man jury took less than an hour on March 1, 1969 to find Clay Shaw not guilty. Based on interviewing some of the jury members, it was believed that Garrison had not adequately linked the conspiracy to Shaw or provided a motive. Arrest and removal from the BenchJust months after the Clay Shaw trial, Judge Haggerty, was arrested on Dec. 17, 1969 in a vice squad raid on a stag party at the Deville Motor Hotel where he tried to resist arrest. The obscenity charges against him were thrown out by Judge Matthew Braniff, who ruled that the key evidence was inadmissible. However, a state judiciary commission was convened and recommended Haggerty's removal from the bench. [4][5] In November 1970 the Louisiana Supreme Court, in a 6-1 decision, ordered him removed from the bench for 'willful and intentional' misconduct. [6][7] Later life and deathHaggerty went into retirement for the remainder of his life and stayed in New Orleans. He died on Dec. 2nd, 1990 at Humana Hospital at the age of 77. He was buried at Lake Lawn Park Cemetery. [8] References[1] Obituaries Orleans Parish Louisiana. Submitted by New Orleans Volunteer Association. (# 000149).
