(Duluth, MN) -- A Minnesota man accused of stealing the ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in the Wizard of Oz is expected to change his plea to guilty next week.
Seventy-six-year-old Terry Martin pleaded not guilty in June on a charge of theft of a major artwork.
He's accused of stealing the shoes in 2005 from the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids.
The famous footwear was recovered in a sting operation in Minneapolis in 2018 but no one was linked to the crime for several years.
Martin is expected back in court on October 13.
