Not Guilty In Austrians Murder Trial At Parrot Flat
In Butte district court Judge Clancy instructed the jury to acquit Frank Skoflane after the state’s strongest evidence failed to prove a conspiracy or fatal knife attack. Witnesses from the Austrian dance testified to events but not the fatal plunge, leading to a dismissal under section 2096 of the penal code. The foreman signed the not guilty verdict as jurors admitted some testimony could have convicted. The county attorney criticized the result, citing conspiracy evidence.
