Grand Jury Hears Evidence
Against Retired Trooper

The lawyer for a retired state trooper charged in an accident that killed a Bradford woman is challenging the value of a blood test given to his client. Edward Cosgrove says David O’Brien of Allegany wasn’t given the blood test at Olean General Hospital until about three hours after the April 11 accident that killed 38-year-old Wendy Karnes. O'Brien and Karnes were both on their way to work at the Seneca Allegany Casino in Salamanca when their vehicles collided head-on on Route 219. Cosgrove says he questioned everyone at the scene and no one said O'Brien was drunk. Cosgrove says a medical problem may have caused O'Brien to drive in the wrong lane of traffic. A Cattaraugus County Grand Jury heard evidence yesterday. The next grand jury report is due June 26. O’Brien is free on $1,000 bail.
