'Baby Moses' case ends
On Monday, Paul Alan Lundberg, the baby's father, was sentenced to five years in prison for his conviction on one count of accessory to a felony. He was found guilty of obstructing and hindering the prosecution of Lori Ann Schultz - the mother of the baby - by telling authorities he knew nothing about her pregnancy and the Feb. 2, 2004, birth of a baby boy in the Alcester, S.D., home they shared. He will be eligible for parole in 15 months. Schultz is serving a 10-year prison term for her guilty plea to a charge of second-degree manslaughter in connection with the child's death. She is eligible for parole in three years. Together, Lundberg and Schultz may serve less than 10 years behind bars.Naturally, the question arises: Was justice served? Today we repeat the answer we offered following the sentencing of Schultz nearly one year ago: Yes, to the extent possible.
Jury Weighs Carwash’s Liability
Brenda Lee Brown died on Mothers Day 2005, after saving her son but not herself when an unlicensed carwash employee barreled into her in the Town N Country Car Wash parking lot. Her husband filed a wrongful death suit against the carwash owners. For the next one and a half years, the owners denied that they or their employees had done anything wrong. Until it came time to face a jury. On the eve of this weeks trial and during opening statements Tuesday, attorneys representing the carwash acknowledged it bore some fault in 43-year-old Browns death. My client has accepted responsibility for this accident, defense attorney Joseph Metzger said Tuesday morning. Just how much, though, is up to jurors to decide. Jurors this week must tackle two issues: how much Browns husband is owed for the loss of his wife and whether the carwash should pay extra to punish its negligence.They heard and saw evidence Tuesday aimed to pull at their heartstrings.Brenda Brown buried a failed marriage and broken dreams when she fell in love with McNeil Mac Brown, said the widowers attorney, Steve Yerrid.
