NORWICH – An attempt to get accused murderer Peter M. Wlasiuk released from jail was withdrawn in court this week.
The case was scheduled to appear Wednesday before Supreme Court Justice Elizabeth Garry to hear arguments on a writ of habeas corpus in order to free Wlasiuk. Last week, the original indictment against Wlasiuk in the death of his wife was dismissed in court. The move to free him was canceled by co-defense counsel Scott Clippinger and the writ withdrawn, said District Attorney Joseph McBride.
Wlasiuk remains at the Chenango County Correctional Facility pending the District Attorney’s Office move to have a new indictment reviewed by the Grand Jury later this month.
