Level -> Widow ordered to pay ex-suspect $150,000 (7/12/2007 4:26:06 AM)

TRENTON, N.J. - Almost 50 years after a police officer was slain, his widow has been ordered to pay $150,000 to the man acquitted of the murder.
Elizabeth Bernoskie says she doesn't have the money. Her lawyer calls the court ruling Tuesday "a cruel, torturous experience."
Charles Bernoskie, a police officer in Rahway with six young children, was shot to death while on duty in 1958, but it wasn't until 1999 that anyone was charged with the murder.
