The defense’s final arguments in the “Twilight Zone” involuntary manslaughter trial have been postponed until next week because of the illness of a defense attorney. The action was taken after Eugene L. Trope, who represents helicopter pilot Dorcey Wingo, became ill with an inner-ear infection. Trope, along with attorneys for three other defendants, are scheduled to deliver their arguments after James F. Neal, who represents film director John Landis, concludes. The five defendants are accused of criminal negligence in the 1982 film set deaths of actors Vic Morrow and two child actors.
