Cocaine trial witness threats spark bench hearing
In the John Cappas cocaine distribution trial prosecutors accused co defendant Michael Kerridan of whispering a death threat to Drug Enforcement Agent Randy Clifton after jurors were dismissed. Kerridan denied the remark, claiming he said he did not believe Sopko would testify. The judge ordered no action yet and warned of consequences for future incidents as the trial continued with other witnesses detailing murder plots and drug schemes.
