Court Rejects Appeal of Man in Slaying of 2 Sisters

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A Pennsylvania court has rejected the appeal of a man convicted of killing two sisters who lived next door to him in Pittsburgh and were sisters of an Iowa state lawmaker. Allen Wade was convicted of first-degree murder in the February 2014 deaths of Sarah and Susan Wolfe, who were found shot in the basement. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that a Superior Court panel rejected appeal arguments including a challenge to prosecutors’ use of a hat containing his DNA found in the victims’ home.
