LANCASTER — With the trial in the fatal Randolph motorcycle accident now pushed back until March 2021, the defense is renewing its request that defendant Volodomyr Zhukovskyy be released on personal recognizance bail.
Defense Attorneys Steve Mirkin and Jay Duguay are requesting a bail hearing in open court. The two public defenders argue the additional delay in the trial date plus new findings by the state’s independent accident reconstruction firm must be factored into his bail status.
