Judge To Rule On Sehimeyer Case Monday
Common Pleas Judge D A Cook said he would decide Monday after the second manslaughter trial of Allen Sehimeyer 22 at 164 Parmelf avenue. Sehimeyer waived a jury in the traffic death of his friend Richard Bron 29 of ReD Elyria who died November 2 when Lehrmeyer’s car tipped on West River near Fithert. The court will rule Monday on prosecutors' request to amend the indictment to add a charge that Lehrmeyer was driving in such unsafe condition that it was not fit. The state originally charged Sehimeyer with driving under the influence and reckless driving.
