Blair County Judge Vacates Death Sentence In Toledo Case
Blair County Judge John M. Klepser today voided the murder conviction of Glenn A. Leamer, 32, and ordered his return to Blair County for further disposition after ruling the original trial violated constitutional rights. Leamer, who admitted killing his grandfather Samuel J. Leamer during a robbery attempt, had been sentenced to death despite appeals to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and the Pardons Board. Local officials had scheduled execution for February 11 before the writ of habeas corpus delay. The case involved Leamer revealing details of the burglary and body disposal near Williamsburg.
