A mistrial was declared Wednesday in the trial of Sean Woulfe, charged with killing Lindsey Schmidt and her 3 children in a Beecher, IL crash in 2017.
Now five years later, there is still no resolution in the legal case. A jury was unable to reach a consensus on a verdict, so a mistrial was declared Wednesday in the trial of Sean Woulfe, 30, of Orland Park.
The defense argued Woulfe was neither drunk nor distracted, and was unfamiliar with the area and in fact thought it was Schmidt who had the stop sign. Both the Will County State's Attorney's office and defense attorneys declined to comment, citing a gag order imposed by the judge."There aren't really words that fit the emotions," said Pastor Frank Italiano of Trinity Lutheran Church."Disappointed does not cover it. Devastated is probably the closes that I can think of."
