Man to Plead Guilty in Theft of 'Wizard of Oz' Ruby Slippers

Terry Jon Martin, the man charged with stealing a pair of ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz, is expected to plead guilty in court. The shoes were stolen in 2005 from the Judy Garland Museum and recovered in 2018. Martin, who has a previous conviction for receiving stolen goods, is cooperating with authorities. The slippers are one of four remaining authentic pairs and have an estimated value of $3.5 million. Sentencing is expected to take place in approximately three months.
