Marine’s Lawyer Beaten to Death
From Times Wire Reports
The lawyer representing a U.S. Marine in an accident that sent 20 people to their deaths in the Alps was beaten to death outside her office. Police said they do not believe that the daylight attack on Francesca Trombino, 43, was related to the Feb. 3 accident in which a Marine jet sliced through a ski lift’s cables, hurling the gondola to the ground. Police in Pordenone said a suspect was in custody. RAI state television said Trombino represented the suspect’s wife in a divorce.
