Casualty of a Poison Plot in the Yahnee Case
In a detailed testimony sequence, August Jahnke and accomplices plotted Mike Slick’s murder using corrosive sublimate in sugar and staged shootings. Oleson testified to multiple attempts, including a dinner-time shooting and a well caper, with conflicting statements and later affidavits. The court reviews corroboration, motive, and the reliability of Oleson, ultimately reversing the lower verdict and remanding the case.
