"It doesn't do you any good to hate somebody for whatever they have done to you, because all it does is eat you up. And in the end, what does it do for you? Absolutely nothing," said Bryon Dickson.....

"Justice lays behind us at the grave, where my son's body is buried," she said. "And Eric Frein is chained to that place of justice. He has to be held accountable for what he has done."/QUOTE]

http://republicanherald.com/news/trial-for-frein-may-start-this-year-1.1991057

A trial might take place this year for a man accused of killing a state trooper and injuring another in a sniper attack outside of a rural state police barracks in 2014.

Pike County District Attorney Raymond Tonkin and defense attorney Michael Weinstein each said they are awaiting a decision from the court on a filing deadline for pretrial motions in the case of Eric Matthew Frein...

&#8220;I think that a trial might be likely in 2016,&#8221; Weinstein said.

Prosecutor wants insanity defense barred in troopers' death
Prosecutors are seeking to bar a survivalist from using a possible insanity defense at his trial over the ambush shooting death of a state police trooper outside a rural barracks.

(...)

District Attorney Ray Tonkin filed a motion April 1 saying defense attorneys are required by state law to notify prosecutors in advance if they plan to use a defense of insanity or mental infirmity. He said such notice needs to be filed at the time of pretrial motions so prosecutors can seek an independent examination of the defendant.

Tonkin said defense attorneys, who filed several pretrial motions in February and March, should be barred from presenting such a defense.

Defense attorney William Ruzzo told The Times-Tribune newspaper in Scranton on Monday that the defense is still consulting with a psychiatric expert and will file notice if appropriate once that consultation is complete.

HARRISBURG - The state police commander who helped lead the manhunt and capture of accused cop-killer Eric Frein has been demoted and stripped of his rank.

Lt. Col. George Bivens, the public face of law enforcement during the grueling, weeks-long hunt for Frein in the Poconos in 2014, will "revert to the rank of major" and be reassigned to head the agency's Bureau of Gaming Enforcement, according to an email sent Friday morning to agency employees.
