UPDATE: Still no verdict in Wlasiuk trial
UPDATE: Following a full day of deliberations Monday, jurors still have not rendered a verdict. They've gone home for the day and will resume at 9 a.m. Tuesday.
NORWICH – Jurors in the murder trial of Peter Wlasiuk will resume deliberations today after failing to reach a decision last week.
Acting Chenango County Court Judge Joseph Cawley sent the jury home for the weekend at 4 p.m. Friday following three weeks of testimony in the third trial of Wlasiuk, accused of killing his wife, Patricia, on or about April 3, 2002, at the couple’s Oxford home. Jurors were not sequestered over the weekend and are expected to renew their deliberations at 9 a.m. today, according to the Chenango County District Attorney’s Office.
Wlasiuk has twice been convicted of second degree murder, in 2003 and 2008, and could serve 25 years to life in state prison if convicted a third time. Both convictions were overturned on appeal, in 2006 and 2011, respectively.
According to Wlasiuk – who has maintained his innocence over the past decade – he and his wife were travelling east on County Road 35 in the Town of Guilford when she swerved to miss a deer, losing control of his 1998 GMC pick-up truck and veering into Guilford Lake, where she drowned. Wlasiuk later changed his story, stating the couple were arguing when his wife intentionally drove into the lake.
Both stories, according to the Chenango County District Attorney’s Office, are false, and it’s alleged that Wlasiuk smothered his wife to death at their New Virginia Road home, later staging the accident at Guilford Lake in an effort to disguise the crime.
He is currently being held at the Chenango County Correctional Facility.
