Weekend puts parents in touch
By ELLEN STERN
Collegian Stafl Writer
For many parents, college life
conjures up images of their chil
dren complaining about homework
and asking for more money. But the
University’s second annual Paren
ts’ Weekend held Saturday and Sun
day gave parents and students a
chance to share in some fun at the
University.
The activities started Saturday
with a continental breakfast for
parents in the residence hall dining
areas, and continued through the
weekend with tours, open houses
and information sessions.
“For a university of this size,
they really make more Of An effort

Missing witness delays trial collegian notes
By LORI HELLER
Collegian Staff Writer
The non-jury trial of a State College man charged with
involuntary manslaughter in the drug death of a young
woman will not begin today as scheduled because the key
prosecuting witness cannot be located, Centre County s
first assistant district attorney said.
Ray Gricar said Raymond C. Agostinelli, 27, of 1612
Elizabeth Road, was charged in March with involuntary
manslaughter and delivery and possession of drugs after
he was found unconscious in a room at the Nittany Budget
Motel, 1274 N. Atherton St., with Sabina Wright, 23, of
Piney Ridge, who was found dead.
Wright’s autopsy results revealed that Wright died
from a cocaine-morphine overdose. The defendant; son of
Raymond F. Agostinelli owner of McLanahan drug
stores allegedly supplied the victim with the drugs,
Gricar said.
The trial has been postponed because Marc A. Saccarel
li, a witness who testified during the March preliminary
hearing that he took drugs with the pair at the motel room
and later left, cannot be located, Gricar £aid.
The trial could proceed without Saccarelli because his
testimony was taped, but Gricar said it would benefit the
prosecution’s case if Saccarelli testified in person.

If a witness cannot be found, Pennsylvania law allows
prerecorded testimony of witnesses to be included in the
trial, Gricar said.
Gricar said he does not know why Saccarelli disap
peared. Gricar said he spoke to Saccarelli’s friends and
family, but no one can explain why he left.
The trial may reveal whether the morphine came from
McLanahan’s Drug Store at 1690 N. Atherton St. or from
another source, Gricar said
“We don’t have an eyewitness that saw (the defendant)
take the drugs (from the store),” he said.
Gricar said Wright’s death was accidental. The de
fendant is on trial for doing something in a grossly
negligent manner to cause a death, he said.
Saccarelli, a University student at the time of the
incident, is an essential witness for the prosecution and
the judge must decide whether he is a credible witness,
since the defendant chose to have a non-jury trial, Gricar
said.
For most crimes, the defendant has a choice between a
jury and non-jury trial, but the prosecution does not have
that right, said Arthur Patterson, University associate
professor of administration of justice.
Patterson said a defendant may choose a non-jury trial
if he thinks the jury may be biased because of his status in
the community.
