Ward bid to reopen Capen case rejected
County Grand Jury refused Supervisor Baxter Ward's request to reopen its 1973 Capen case inquiry into the Randi Capen overdose arrest. Jury foreman Jesse Robinson announced the denial amid questions about new material Ward had presented, which officials deemed largely duplicative of the original findings. Capen and a friend were arrested in 1973 after an overdose. Ward had claimed bias due to her father, then Civil Service Commission President O Richard Capen.
