Kerwin Freed by Jury Yesterday
Not guilty was the verdict returned yesterday afternoon by a jury in the State of Oregon vs Thomas Kerwin on a charge of receiving stolen goods. Kerwin, aided by attorney Will M. Peterson, was freed after a trial where the defense used an argument waiver tactic to end the case without rebuttal. He told witnesses he felt lucky and implied guilt. A sodomy case against William Reno was held up due to a plea issue and delay while Justice King’s opinion was reviewed. Observers felt the state presented a strong case for Reno, with conviction likely.
