Trial of alleged Oregon attacker continued
The trial of David H. Twinning, charged with aggravated battery, aggravated criminal sexual abuse, armed violence and two counts of home invasion after an alleged summer assault on an Oregon woman, was pushed back to March 6 as state’s attorney Dennis Schumacher appeals to the state supreme court to block a substitution of judges in the case. Judge F. Lawrence Lenz approved the substitution of Judge Alan Cargerman, and Twinning remains on parole with a recognizance bond while proceedings proceed and pretrial motions are reviewed.
