Dana Lowry Verdict, 1992-05-29
Scope and Contents
[Envelope contains images from trial of Dana Lowry. Lowry was driving drunk on August 16, 1991 when she entered Interstate 15 near Fallbrook, California, sideswiping a truck on the off-ramp. She eventually stopped in the No. 2 lane of the freeway, headlights facing oncoming traffic, and got out of the car waving her arms. 19-year-old Thomas Anderlik, of Washington State, stopped his car and went to Lowry's assistance. He was killed when a car driven by Henry Preiss hit him. Lowry was acquitted of manslaughter but convicted of drunk driving and hit-and-run driving. Jurors felt that Preiss should have been prosecuted, who provided inconsistent statements to authorities. Preiss was given immunity in exchange for his testimony. Unknown if images were published in the newspaper. Related images in 739.]
