YOUNGWOOD, PA (AP) A Youngwood, PA woman will stand trial on allegations she beat her mother and shaved her head because she thought the older woman was listening to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ game too loudly on the radio.
A judge ruled Wednesday that Delores Amorino was competent to stand trial.
But the judge said Amorino’s teenage daughter, who faces similar charges, wasn’t competent and ordered her to continue mental health treatments at a state psychiatric hospital.
Authorities have said the two women beat Amorino’s mother and shaved her head during an August 2017 attack in their Youngwood home.
A psychiatrist testified Amorino and her daughter have been diagnosed with a rare psychological disorder in which both suffered from shared delusions that they’re in romantic relationships with a current and a former member of the Steelers.
An early morning fire in Center Township was reported at a home on High St – shortly before 3:30 AM. Two brothers who were inside the home were able to evacuate – one of them stating that he had to dive out through a window. A woman who resides there was not home at the time. A dog and a rabbit did not survive the blaze which reportedly started in the basement and sent smoke throughout the home.
Lawyers for Robert Bowers, the accused synagogue shooter said Thursday they are seeking a plea deal that will spare their client the death penalty.
At a routine conference, one of the lawyers, Judy Clarke, told U.S. District Judge Donetta Ambrose that the defense team is seeking a plea.
The move is not unexpected.
According to prosecutors the Justice Department is still reviewing the case for death penalty approval.
Mr. Bowers, who did not appear at the meeting, is accused of shooting 11 parishioners at Tree of Life synagogue in Squirrel Hill on Oct. 27. He is being charged with 63 total federal crimes – about a third of which carry the death penalty.
Another conference has been set by the judge for Aug. 5.
It’s “1-4-3 Day” today according to a declaration by PA Governor Tom Wolf.
As a code used by Mister Rogers, the numbers 1-4-3 stand for “I love you.”
Fred Rogers hosted the popular Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood from 1968 through 2001 and regularly used the code in his life and on his show. The Pennsylvania native died in Pittsburgh in 2003.
He often talked about kindness. In honor of his life, May 23 has been declared “1-4-3 Day.” It’s the 143rd day of the year.
Gov. Wolf said in a press release: “We know Pennsylvanians are grateful for and do good deeds for their neighbors every day. It’s one aspect that makes our commonwealth such a great place to live, work and to visit. 1-4-3 Day is a recognition and celebration of those collective efforts, and we hope it inspires even more acts of kindness.”
Thursday, May 23, marks the very first “1-4-3 Day” in Pennsylvania.
People are urged to use the hashtag, #143DayInPA, on social media.
