    Steven Hutchinson - Pennsylvania

    Facts of the Crime:

    "Mr. Steve" did it. That was the conclusion of a jury that deliberated for about seven hours before convicting Steven "Mr. Steve" Hutchinson, then 32, of first-degree murder for fatally shooting Stephanie Coleman Epps, 41, daughter of former City Council President Joseph Coleman, on September 16, 1997. Hutchinson showed no emotion as he was also found guilty of two counts of recklessly endangering the victim's two young children and of weapons offenses.

    On December 13, 1999, Hutchinson was sentenced to death in Philadelphia County.

    COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA v. STEVEN HUTCHINSON

    This is an appeal from the denial of guilt phase relief sought by Steven Hutchinson in a petition filed pursuant to the Post Conviction Relief Act ("PCRA").The Pennsylvania Supreme Court concluded that the ruling of the PCRA court is supported by the record and free of legal error, therefore they AFFIRMED.

    In today's United States Supreme Court orders, Hutchinson's petition writ of certiorari and motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis was DENIED.

    Hutchinson's sentence has been reversed according to this opinion I read.

    I agree that the opinion indicates that a new sentencing hearing has been ordered. However, Hutchinson, as of December 1st, is still listed as being under a death sentence on the Pennsylvania DOC site. I'm not sure what to make of all that.

    Hutchinson is no longer listed as being on Pennsylvania's death row. However, he does remain incarcerated.
