Zeller Declares Corolla Mistrial
By JEREMY CLARIDGE

Judge Alice Zeller has declared the widely-reported Michael Corolla murder trial a mistrial, in a stunning twist after the case had already gone to the jury for deliberations. "The evidence that [jury member] David Kona has been accepting financial remuneration in exchange for trying to sway the case toward a conviction has been overwhelming," Zeller wrote in a formal statement.

The case had been halted in early April to investigate allegations of jury misconduct; Kona, 45, was only today named. This is the first time since 175 AC that a criminal case in the city has been declared a mistrial. In that case, jurist Latrell Korn was convicted for reporting jury deliberations to the press for personal profit in the historic Ghona Hesh trial. Korn served ninety days in prison and paid a PCL1,500 fine. If Kona is convicted of misconduct, he could serve up to one year in prison and pay up to PCL30,000 in fines.

Police Chief Eoin Morgan spoke out on the case today, saying that Kona has been taken into custody, and that a full investigation has been launched to determine how many people are involved. "We will not allow anybody to stand in the way of the fair and unbiased execution of a trial," Morgan said. "Interference with the justice system is intolerable. We're going to do everything in our power to get to the bottom of this."

Johann Jacobson, who represented Corolla in the trial, applauded Zeller's decision. "We see this as a vindication of our case. If there is a conspiracy to see Michael convicted, clearly this is support for the idea that he has been the subject of an elaborate conspiracy. ... Michael has maintained has innocence from the start, and we hope now the press and public will step back and allow him to grieve in peace."

The proceedings are not yet over, however. Zeller indicated that a fresh trial of the case will likely be placed on the docket as early as August, though it is possible that a grand jury will be reconvened to examine the case in light of the attempt to influence the case's outcome. Corolla has been on trial for the murder of his fiancee, celebrity Karen Chondelle, who was found dead early last year on the night before their wedding.


EDIT: Oops, right, title.

Ditto. Another parallel universe ref?
*Edit* I wonder if, like the England case, this will lead (implicate) people higher up the food chain? Who would benifit from killing Michael Corollas wife and having him framed? *edit*
