Jury dismisses man tied to Abbott in kidnapping case
An Oakland Hayward juror, August Rettig Jr., was excused in the Burton W. Abbott kidnapping trial after a close conference with judge Charles Wade Snook. Rettig's proximity to Abbott's brother's desk at the Alameda Naval Air Station prompted removal to avoid possible embarrassment. Esmond Harrison replaced him as alternate. The judge denied mistrial and continuance motions, saying Rettig had no personal acquaintance with Abbott and the situation was unusual.
