One day after a federal jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict, the government today announced it will not try the former director of the D-Day Memorial a third time. Yesterday a jury in Charlottesville declared it was hopelessly deadlocked, just as a similar panel in Lynchburg was last year. The U-S Attorney says, "it is clear that opinions as to Mr. Burrow's guilt are divided." The eight fraud counts will be dismissed. Two additional perjury charges that grew out of the first trial will also be dropped.
