    Pennsylvania v. Chamberlain

    Appellant Terry Chamberlain appealed the death sentence imposed on him after a jury convicted him of two counts of first-degree murder, burglary and possessing "an instrument of crime" in 1994. On direct appeal, the Supreme Court held that the trial court abused its discretion in denying a pretrial motion for a continuance to allow Appellant to obtain DNA testing of certain blood evidence. The case was remanded for the trial court to allow Appellant to do the testing. The trial court completed proceedings on remand, and the case went back to the Supreme Court for its consideration on the remaining claims in Appellant's appeal. Upon review of those claims, the Court AFFIRMED Appellant's death sentence.
