Innocent Verdict for Man Jailed Over Bond in 1973 Killing
Pittsburgh AP McDade, 25, spent three years in Allegheny County jail after failing to post 25,000 bond for the 1973 shooting death of Joseph Wells in Natrona Heights. A six hour jury acquitted him of murder charges. He left jail after the verdict, having no immediate place to stay. The state case hinged on a letter to a Ukrainian Orthodox priest from an inmate. McDade said he did not know the priest. Prosecution tied McDade to a drinking spree with Wells, but toxicology showed no alcohol in Wells. The murder weapon remains unfound and paint on the cord could not be traced.
