A second worker also fell, according to Troy Lane, spokesman for the Kansas State police, but there was no indication he was seriously injured. Steven E. Darveaux, of Winchester, and Timothy W. Hanes, of Meriden, got into a forklift box at an apartment complex construction site Wednesday evening to be lowered with tools to ground level, according to a news release from the university. The side of the box began to tip and both men fell from the box. The forklift box then fell on Darveaux. Emergency medical workers were unable to revive Darveaux at the scene. IN COURT KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jurors misunderstood a federal judge's instruction when they convicted five people in the deaths of six firefighters in a 1988 explosion, according to a newspaper report Faulty instructions lead jurors to bend system rules according to a newspaper report. The jury voted once to convict all five defendants, Frank Sheppard, Skip Sheppard, Bryan Sheppard, Richard Brown and Edwards are serving life sentences in federal prisons. Don Ledford, spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office, said even if jurors made a mistake at trial, 'under the law, you can't go back and undo a jury verdict, and there are good reasons for that.' "After jurors are discharged, they are subject to all kinds of influences and nonrelevant facts and issues." All five defendants have maintained their innocence in the Nov. 29, 1988, arson fire and explosion that killed firefighters Thomas Fry, Gerald Halloran, Luther Hurd, James Kilventon Jr., Robert D. McKarnin and Michael Oldham. According to court records, U.S. District Judge Joseph Stevens told jurors, "You must give separate consideration to the evidence about each individual defendant. Each defendant is entitled to be treated separately nitted to be treated separately. But The Star's investigation found that jurors misunderstood those instructions. "It was so long ago that I do not remember what instructions were given either verbally or in writing," the jury foreman said. "I hope the right people are in jail, I think they did it; it's hard to sav" The complexity of jury instructions is a common problem, Jonakait said, which is why many state courts do not try groups of defendants together, as federal courts tend to do.
