Terry Martin changes plea to guilty in theft of "The Wizard of Oz" ruby slippers

DULUTH, Minn. — A 76-year-old Grand Rapids man has changed his plea to guilty in connection to the theft of a pair of ruby slippers from the classic 1939 film "The Wizard of Oz."

Terry Martin, 76, is making an appearance in a Duluth federal courtroom on Friday. He is charged with one count of major artwork theft, accused of stealing the iconic shoes from the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids back in 2005.

Martin previously pleaded not guilty to the charge in June. His trial, which was scheduled to start this week, was delayed.
