Premature publicity blamed for infant's death in kidnap case
Nassau County Detective Chief Stuyvesant Pinnell says a New York City newspaper's early coverage of the 32 day old Peter Weinberger kidnapping hindered police secrecy and may have contributed to the infant's death. The Daily News editor noted an official request to withhold the story. Angelo LaMarca, indicted for kidnapping and murder, pleaded innocent by reason of insanity with a trial set for Oct 1.
