Sheeran's trial opens in Wilmington labor case
In open statements in the federal labor racketeering trial of Frank Sheeran, prosecutors said he gave away workers rights while his lawyer argued no bribes. The 60 year old Teamsters Local 326 president denied the charges as witnesses from Crown Zellerbach and others testified. He had been hospitalized for a back ailment and appeared via brief recess denials. Six witnesses testified including former Crown Zellerbach employees and truck drivers. He said he would have resigned if necessary and claimed he paid for luxury cars himself. In a separate note from Washington, two Maryland men convicted of heroin possession and racketeering were acquitted three hours after guilty verdicts due to jury confusion and fatigue.
