CORTLAND, NY (607NewsNow) – A Cortland County murder trial continues.

On March 4, four people gave testimony related to the December 2023 death of Solon woman Patrica Halverson. It’s the second week of the trial. According to the Cortland Standard, a pathologist testified the death could have been caused by horse trampling, conflicting what another pathologist said the previous day.

The daughter of Halverson, 33-year-old Ariela Thran of Granby, is accused of second-degree murder by blunt force trauma. The Oswego County woman pled not guilty in February last year.
