District Court adjourns Hale trial over evidence ruling
A jury trial for James E. Hale was halted after the court ruled some statements could not be admitted. The county attorney appeals the ruling. Hale, 46, was arrested in June on suspected aggravated indecent liberties with a child involving a 10-year-old Ottawa girl. Charges were amended to one count with a child and two counts of aggravated sodomy.
