Day three of Wlasiuk testimony today
NORWICH – Day two in the trial accused murderer Peter Wlasiuk wrapped up early on Friday, with jurors receiving a stern warning from acting Chenango County Court Judge Joseph F. Cawley not to discuss the case in any way, shape or form – be it with friends, family or online social media.
Judge Cawley released no specifics in regard to his warning to the jury, and declined further comment.
The case against Wlasiuk – accused of killing his wife, Patricia Wlasiuk, in April of 2002 and staging a Guilford Lake accident in an effort to cover up the crime – resumes at 9 a.m. today in the Chenango County Courthouse. Charged with one count of second degree murder, a class A-1 felony, Wlasiuk has successfully appealed two prior convictions for the crime, in 2006 and 2011, respectively.
Chenango County Sheriff’s Office deputy Dwight Meade took the stand Friday for the prosecution, detailing the events of April 3, 2002, in the Town of Guilford. According to Meade, who was just minutes from the scene of the alleged accident on County Road 35 in the Town of Oxford, Wlasiuk’s truck could be seen submerged in Guilford Lake, with its headlights and tail lights lit. Wlasiuk was on the side of the road, he added, and said he believed his wife was still in the vehicle.
Wlasiuk’s condition, said Meade, was “wet and cold,” a change from his 2002 testimony, according to defense attorney Mark Loughran, who countered that Meade had said Wlasiuk was shivering profusely and soaking wet.
District Attorney Joseph McBride has stated Wlasiuk changed his story several times following Patricia’s death. According to Meade, Wlasiuk said his wife was driving and swerved to miss a deer before veering into Guilford Lake. Meade, observing the scene of the accident, said he located the truck’s tire marks and secured the scene shortly thereafter. Patricia’s body, according to the prosecution, was found at the bottom of the lake. The truck, once removed from the lake, was found with its doors locked; the driver side window rolled down approximately 12 inches; and was in drive, said Meade. Patricia’s pager – which multiple witnesses have said she kept with her at all times – was found in the bed of the vehicle, he added.
Meade added he observed no significant physical damage to Wlasiuk’s pick-up truck and was unable to locate any deer tracks near the scene of the accident.
