THREE MEMBERS OF ZIZIANS GRANTED JOINT TRIAL

Three alleged members of the cult-like group Zizians were granted a joint trial Tuesday; it could be held at the Allegany County Detention Center. Jack LaSota, Michelle Zajko, and Daniel Blank appeared in Allegany County Circuit Court. The cases could be tried together as late as December, according to the Cumberland Times-News. Allegany County State’s Attorney James Elliott said, if the trial “goes smoothly,” it will take at least seven days.
