Coppolino Case Goes To Jury In Five Verdicts
Naples Florida AP reports Dr Carl Coppolino accused of murdering his wife Carmela faced a 12 man jury after a four week trial that tested new scientific testimony. Judge Lynn Silvertooth gave five possible verdicts including various degrees of murder and manslaughter. The jurors, after three hours of deliberation, reported no verdict and were ordered to resume at 1 am. Defense lawyer F Lee Bailey argued the murder theory rested on reckless medical opinion and warned convicting Coppolino would label him a scientific guinea. The state alleges the wife was killed with an undetectable drug after death. Continued on Page Three.
