Trial in Lawrence County Common Pleas Court juries on again
The case resumes after a mistrial last month as Dominick Motto presides. Prosecutor Diane Demetery outlines a complex tale of sexual assault involving a 13 year old and a 14 year old, detailing online contacts, motel encounters, and payments to suppress testimony. The defense argues credibility issues with key witnesses as opening statements proceed and testimony continues in Harrisburg. Meanwhile Pennsylvania Cash 5 lottery draws report no winners and $200000 minimum is noted for the next draw with several smaller prizes.
