WELLSBURG A trial for a Wellsburg man accused of the sexual abuse of a child was declared a mistrial after its intended jurors heard opening arguments from attorneys both sides Tuesday afternoon.
Returning from a lengthy break, the jury was prepared to hear from the first witness in the trial for Keith A. Wood, 67, of Wellsburg, when 1st Judicial Circuit Court Judge Michael Olejasz told them he didn’t believe a fair trial could occur.
The judge said in light of that, the case will be continued for the March term, meaning it could be heard in March, April or May.
