Eric Frein pleads not guilty in state trooper’s death

The attorney, Michael Weinstein, attended the hearing in Milford, Pennsylvania, to enter the plea on behalf of his client, while co-counsel William Ruzzo was with Frein at the jailhouse. Weinstein said his client appeared fine, and understood and answered questions asked by the judge.

Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Frein, who is accused of shooting two state troopers — killing Cpl. Bryon Dickson and injuring Trooper Alex T. Douglass.

Frein faces a dozen charges, including terrorism and first-degree murder, in connection with the September ambush outside the state police barracks in Blooming Grove, Pennsylvania.
