From Times Wire Reports
A judge in Charlottesville declared a mistrial for a former director of the National D-Day Memorial who was charged with fraud over his aggressive fund-raising efforts for the monument.
The jury deadlocked after two days of deliberations -- the second hung jury in the government’s prosecution of Richard B. Burrow.
Burrow, 57, faced eight fraud counts charging him with lying to government officials, banks and his board of directors in a ploy to obtain loans and state matching funds to pay for the $25-million monument.
