1971. Deliberations started after
a trial lasting 14 weeks.
Hawk said Corona, a 38-year-
refused to talk to newsmen.
The jury had asked that the
court reconvene for a rereading
of the legal definition of “rea-
sonable doubt," referring to the
requirement that a defendant
cannot be found guilty unless
the prosecution has proven guilt
beyond a reasonable doubt
The panel of 10 men and two
women then was ordered into
further deliberations The ju-
rors met about one more hour,
then recessed for the night.
They recovene today.
The jury has been ordered to
return 25 separate verdicts, one
for each of the bodies found
buried in a peach orchard north
pointing a board member to fill
a vacancy in Position 3, the sole
item on the agenda.
The board deadlocked after
considering three nominations
for the post.
Trustee John Harkey first
nominated R S Martin Jr.
