Abrupt Ending to Cronin Case Shocks Court
The trial of Lawrence P. Cronin, a Fields Corner policeman, for alleged felonious assault and theft ended abruptly when Judge Dubuque removed the case from the jury after defense counsel questioned evidence. The judge ruled the questioned evidence collateral and set aside the line of questioning and noted exceptions. The case will be rescheduled for a new trial, likely in January.
