Death Sentence For David Copenhefer Upheld

watch video

A death sentence has been upheld for a man convicted of a crime that happened more than 2 decades ago.

The third circuit court of appeals in Philadelphia upheld the death sentence for 65 year old David Copenhefer in an opinion that came down Thursday. 

Copenhefer was convicted in 1989 for the kidnapping and murder of Sally Weiner in Corry.

In May, Erie county district attorney Jack Daneri went to Philadelphia to argue the appeal after the death sentenced was vacated in a 2002 ruling.

Copenhefer is awaiting his death sentence at the state correctional institution in Greene Township.

Comments

They should have fried this piece of trash long ago. A decade of taxpayers wasting money on needless legal proceedings, food, and shelter for this evil scumbag. 23 years later and we still don't have justice.
