Joe O'Trotz was found guilty of larceny for taking $60 but awaits sentence. The jury split costs in the stabbing case of Inste Ray and three companions, each defendant paying a fifth and the prosecutor paying one fifth. The Huagan case ended in a mistrial after hours of deliberation. The Lindsey case was continued, Jacob Zahaski faces liquor selling charges, and Mondi Frocesco remains on trial for legal liquor selling.
