    On October 30, 2013, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court DENIED relief on Roney's PCRA petition, affirming the decision made by the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas.

    Are the days of his "glamorous life" nearing an end?

    Thanks for the post, Fact. I take it Roney has yet to start his federal appeals?

    You've only been a member since June 2013. Is Fact a blast from the past because you used to post under another name?
