Insurance fraud witness gets more time

Insurance fraud witness gets more time -- Page 1 -- Times Union - Albany NY: "County Judge Stephen W. Herrick this morning accused the central witness in a mammoth insurance fraud case of lying on the stand and creating a situation where the jury discredited everything he said.

While Herrick said he believed Willie Cook testified ``substantially truthfully'' over the course of the trial, he cited two lies he believes the man told. While tangential to the charges in the case, the lies he said still destroyed the jury's ability to take his testimony seriously."
