New grand jury to convene


By Dave Dicke - Posted on 06 November 2009

A new grand jury will be convened for a third suspect in the murder of Ada Senenfelder of Winona. District Judge Jeffrey Thompson recently dismissed a murder indictment against James Bolstad saying the Winona County Attorney's Office introduced inadmissible evidence that prejudiced the grand jury. At a court hearing yesterday, Assistant County Attorney Tom Gort announced his offices plan to reconvene a grand jury. Bolstad was facing charges of first–degree aiding and abetting murder for the 1985 stabbing death of Ada Senenfelder. Bolstad remains in police custody.
