Wlasiuk indicted again
NORWICH – A Chenango County grand jury moved to re-indict Peter M. Wlasiuk for a single count of second-degree murder Wednesday.
Wlasiuk, 38, New Virginia Road, Oxford, is accused in the death of his 37-year-old wife, Patricia, on April 3, 2002.
Chenango County District Attorney Joseph A. McBride submitted the case after the prior indictment from April 11, 2002 was dismissed. Acting Chenango County Court Judge Martin E. Smith, of Broome County, dismissed the original indictment after the defense filed a motion asking the court to reject the charge.
Wlasiuk’s conviction was appealed by state Supreme Court Appellate Division, Aug. 31, 2006. The court ruled that certain procedures failed to give the defendant a fair trail. The original indictment was rejected by Smith because the same evidence rejected by the appellate court was found in the first grand jury proceedings.
Smith also said the original grand jury was not given adequate instruction on how to use the evidence which created an improper and prejudicial decision. Much of the court’s objections to the grand jury indictment echoed those based on the appeal over the jury trial.
Chenango County Judge Howard Sullivan recused himself from the retrial and Judge Smith was then appointed to preside over the case. However, Wlasiuk was scheduled to appear before Judge Sullivan this morning for an arraignment this morning at 10:30, because Judge Smith is engaged in separate murder trial in Broome. Although recused, Sullivan was asked by Smith to preside in this once instance and the defense also said they would consent.
Wlasuik was found guilty of second degree murder by a jury and given the maximum sentence of 25 years to life by Sullivan on Jan. 3, 2003, for allegedly murdering his wife Patricia and staging a vehicle accident at Guilford Lake to cover it up.
Wlasiuk is currently being held at the Chenango County Correctional Facility without bail. The original court schedule for trial has been scrapped because of the re-indictment and no new dates have been set.
Wlasiuk has been incarcerated since he was originally arrested by the Chenango County Sheriff Department when he was 33 on April 8, 2002.
Next month a grand jury will consider the indictment of George Ford Jr., 42, of Piscataway, N.J., who is charged with first degree reckless endangerment, in an incident that left Shyanne A. Somers, 12, South Otselic, dead.
