Murderer Re-sentenced: An Allentown man who beat and burned a 61-year-old bar owner to death during a robbery 20 years ago has been re-sentenced to life in prison after a 2005 U.S. Supreme Court ruling which overturned his death sentence, as reported in this story by Genevieve Marshall and Daniel Patrick Sheehan in today's Morning Call. The Court's 5-4 decision, authored by Justice Souter held that defense counsel at the sentencing hearing failed to adequately investigate and present mitigating evidence of Rompilla's difficult childhood. "I personally feel the appeals process is out of hand," said the victim's son Timothy Scanlon, who was the person who discovered his father's body in a pool of blood.
