Jury clears Pa. state senator in neighbor's death
A jury has cleared Pennsylvania state Sen. Robert Regola of any wrongdoing in the death of his 14-year-old neighbor.
A jury has cleared Pennsylvania state Sen. Robert Regola of any wrongdoing in the death of his 14-year-old neighbor.
The Republican lawmaker had been charged with perjury, reckless endangerment and allowing a minor to illegally possess a gun.
The neighbor used Regola's gun to shoot himself in July 2006. A coroner ruled the death a suicide.
Prosecutors had said Regola should be held accountable for lies he told during a coroner's inquest. They also claimed the 9 mm handgun essentially belonged to his son Bobby Regola.
Bobby Regola was sentenced in March to a year of probation for illegal possession of a handgun.
