If your lawyer can file enough appeals, and you live long enough, everybody who remembers your crime will be dead and then you can go home.
WGAL: Death Row Inmate Re-Sentenced; County Can't Afford Appeals
Perry County, PA - A man who killed two hikers along a remote stretch of the Appalachian Trail in 1990 is scheduled to be re-sentenced today.
The Perry County District Attorney said the county cannot afford to keep fighting efforts to appeal the death sentence of 54-year-old Paul Crews.
The DA said Crews has agreed to drop his appeals in exchange for receiving two life sentences without the possibility of parole.
Crews was sentenced to death in 1991 for raping and stabbing to death 25-year-old Molly Larue, of Ohio, and fatally shooting her hiking partner, 26-year-old Geoffrey Hood, of Tennessee.
Crews ambushed the pair as they slept in a wooden shelter near Duncannon, PA.
