Jurist Bails Dan De Vaul Out Of Jail
King Harris Reporting
 San Luis Obispo -- The Dan De Vaul story continued yesterday when Mary Partin, juror number five in his trial, put up $500 for his $5,000 bail.
On Monday, Judge Trice sentenced De Vaul to 90 days in jail after he refused terms of probation. Partin who voted guilty says she caved in to judicial pressure even though she thought De Vaul was innocent. Partin took the required $500 to a bondsman, and eight hours later De Vaul was released.
In October De Vaul’s attorney asked for a new trial because of Partin’s claims, but last week Judge Michael Duffy refused the request. Yesterday, De Vaul’s attorney filed a notice that he plans to appeal the judge’s ruling.
