Gore Man Convicted On Reduced Charge In Virginia Case
Gore resident James Henry Orndorff, 25, was convicted of speeding and fined 650 dollars by a five member Frederick Circuit Court jury. The commonwealth had asked for reckless driving after a trooper said speeds up to 90 mph were involved. Defense argued the car could not reach 90 mph. Judge Elliott D. Marshall instructed a reduced charge. The jury deliberated about five hours. In a separate term, Charles Franklin Hamman Jr. was fined 200 dollars plus costs and given 30 days in jail.
