Jury Dismissed in Trial Of Driver Who Killed 4
In Buffalo a State Supreme Court jury failed to reach a verdict in the criminal negligence trial of Emil Decina, the 33 year old aircraft worker charged after a car leaped a curb and killed four schoolgirls on March 14. The jury remained out over nine hours before declaring a hopeless deadlock, and Judge Hamilton Ward dismissed the jurors while keeping Decina on bail at 2500. A new trial was not scheduled. The defense argued Decina could not foresee a seizure, while the state contended he drove with a condition that might cause unconsciousness. Doctor Joseph Wechter testified Decina suffered Jacksonian epilepsy. Decina faced up to five years if convicted.
