Palazzo jury cannot reach verdict in Fontaine arrest case
A Dauphin County jury failed to reach a verdict in the case of Joseph A. Palazzo Chester Township supervisor and county employee charged with obstructing law and tampering with witnesses over the July 1976 arrest of Herman Fontaine. The three day trial heard testimony that Palazzo allegedly directed officers to drop charges, while defense argued the arrest was mishandled and police overstepped. Jurors will not be immediately retried as the decision rests with the district attorney.

Snow covered horse dies amid park winter housing dispute
In Ridley Creek State Park a snow bound horse died after being kept outside in winter pasture. The horse belonged to Denver Chipps, whose stable was under dispute with residents and state park officials over shelter and care. Chipps moved horses to a barn area but left them without shelter during the blizzard, and one animal grew ill from suspected colic despite calls to a veterinarian.

Municipalities exhaust budgets and manpower from heavy storms with little PennDOT aid expected. Officials report costs from Jan 20 and Feb 6 7 storms, with Chester estimating about 30 000 extra expenses and Philadelphia area districts budgeting tens of millions for state roads but far less for locals.
