Lavetter Rules Out New Jury Probe In McDonald Death
Justice of the Peace Toby Lavetter said a new coroner's jury inquest into Eugene F. McDonald’s death is unlikely. McDonald, 23, heir to Zenith radio millions, was found Feb 3 with a gunshot wound and wrist slashes. Green’s office and sheriff still investigate, but Lavetter sees no new evidence prompting another inquest. A sheriff’s report supports the suicide theory, while an expert witness suggested someone else may have fired the gun.
