Oster trial postponed due to illness

PROVIDENCE — The trial of former Lincoln Town Administrator Jonathan F. Oster has been postponed for a day because two jurors have the flu.

Testimony concluded early Friday when one of the jurors felt ill.

Oster is on trial in Superior Court for bribery and conspiracy.

He is facing two counts of bribery and two counts of conspiracy. He is accused of conspiring with former planning board member Robert Picerno to shake down two different potential buyers of the land in 2001.

The trial is expected to resume tomorrow.
