After four days of trial and roughly six hours of deliberation, a jury found 58-year-old Albart B. Shores of La Crosse guilty on all 15 counts he faced as the result of a double fatal crash in October 2018.
Shores, formerly of Onalaska, was accused of causing the death of two men and severely injuring two others after hitting their 2009 GMC Yukon while driving a 2002 Volkswagen Golf. Shores and his passengers, then 23-year-old Shaquita V. Fajr, 19-year-old Tanganika Barber and a 2-year-old child, were uninjured.
The trial opened Monday with court actors separated by plexiglass dividers. Witnesses took the stand surrounded by a wall of plastic and instructed to remove their masks when they spoke. The precautions were a part of the first trial in Sauk County Circuit Court since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
