MAYVILLE — The third day of trial involving a Georgia woman charged with driving the wrong way on the interstate that resulted in a fatal head-on crash ended abruptly Wednesday.

County Court Judge David Foley sent members of the jury home after only three hours and scheduled a hearing for 9 a.m. today.

At issue in the trial of Heather Capell is information that was accidentally included in body camera footage from an investigator with the Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Office that was being shown in court. That information involved the moment Capell was informed of a driving while impaired charge while she was being treated at UPMC Chautauqua.

Capell is on trial for the July 1, 2021, crash that killed 52-year-old Bradley Wakefield of Cattaraugus County. Then 31 years old, Capell was traveling east in the westbound lane of Interstate 86 when she struck Wakefield’s vehicle head-on around 5 a.m. in the town of North Harmony.

She is facing charges of second-degree manslaughter, second-degree vehicular manslaughter and driving while ability impaired by a combination of drugs/alcohol.

Capell has admitted to smoking marijuana while prosecutors stated she also took methamphetamine.

During the third day of trial Wednesday, prosecutors had Adam McAdoo take the stand. McAdoo works in the Criminal Investigation Division of the Sheriff’s Office and is a drug recognition expert.

Juorors were shown footage from McAdoo’s body-worn camera while he interviewed Capell at the Jamestown hospital.

Foley earlier ruled that McAdoo and another investigator could not testify regarding their opinions on Capell’s possible impairment the morning of the crash because a drug recognition test was not fully completed.

However, the footage that was shown Wednesday included McAdoo or another officer reading aloud an impairment charge. Capell’s attorney, Chautauqua County Public Defender Ned Barone, quickly objected and Foley had the jury leave the courtroom.

Barone argued the reading of a charge to Capell on the body cam just moments after investigators had administered parts of a drug recognition test went against Foley’s ruling on not permitting opinion. He called for McAdoo’s testimony and body cam footage to be tossed.

Jason Schmidt, Chautauqua County district attorney, said the video containing McAdoo’s interview with Capell at the hospital had been given to her attorneys so the information was known to be on there. He also noted that one of the charges she faces is driving while ability impaired by drugs.
