To the Jury
Deliberations now begin in the trial of Alfred Pohlmeier, who admitted strangling his wife (B1). Prosecutors maintain that 92-year-old Pohlmeier--the oldest defendant in county history--intended to kill his 86-year-old spouse, Lidwina. . . . His defense attorney, urging a lesser verdict of voluntary manslaughter, counters: “You have exactly zero evidence of any planning.”
Long Lines
Hundreds of people visited a Thousand Oaks bookstore to have the Goldman family--Fred, Patti and Kim--sign copies of their new, $24.95 book, “His Name Is Ron: Our Search for Justice” (B1). “Ron was a man who didn’t deserve to be murdered,” says his father, an Oak Park resident.
You Make the Call
Thousand Oaks Councilman Andy Fox, hoping to spur the development of a city-owned lot next to the Civic Arts Plaza, suggests residents dial a 900 number to help select from among several proposals (B1). . . . Critics dub his idea “Dial-a-Developer” and fear that a manipulative developer could possibly flood the line and skew the results.
