Pennsylvania clinic owner sentenced for prescribing cow medication to people
ADJUSTED. MISS TURNER’S CLASS USED SOCIAL MEDIA TO MAKE IT BOARD OFFICIAL. THEY’RE GOING TO HERSHEY PARK, AND YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED THE WAY THEY DID IT TO RAISE OVER $8,000. WGAL NEWS EIGHT AT FIVE STARTS. NOW, IF I HAVE TO HIT EVERY BUSINESS OR ANYTHING THAT CAUSES HARM OR UNSAFE SITUATIONS DOWN HERE IN THE WORLD, I WILL CONTINUE TO USE THAT TO MY FULLEST EXTENT. THAT’S WHAT I CAN DO AND THAT IS WHAT I WILL CONTINUE TO DO. THE MAYOR OF STEELTON, DAUPHIN COUNTY, SAYS THE EMERGENCY PROCLAMATION SHE PUT IN PLACE ARE EFFECTIVE, ESPECIALLY IN THE WAKE OF A RECENT DEADLY SHOOTING IN THE COMMUNITY. WELCOME TO NEWS EIGHT AT FIVE. I’M LORI BURKHOLDER AND I’M JERE GISH THE PROCLAMATION ON SUNDAY AT PARADISE PALACE IS THE FOURTH THAT SHE HAS ANNOUNCED IN HER TIME AS MAYOR, AND NEWS EIGHT’S A.J. SIMPSON JOINS US LIVE FROM OUTSIDE THE VENUE. A.J., THE BUILDING OWNER, SPOKE ALSO EARLIER THIS WEEK WITH YOU. THE IDEA THAT WHAT HAPPENED THE OTHER NIGHT, YOU KNOW, SUNDAY MORNING. IT WAS JUST UNBELIEVABLE TO ME, HE SAYS. THE TENANT OF THE EVENT SPACE WAS ALSO A TENANT IN AN APARTMENT UPSTAIRS. HE WAS PART THAT NIGHT. SATURDAY NIGHT, WENT TO HARRISBURG WITH HIS FRIENDS. AFTER THAT CLUB CLOSED, THEY CAME DOWN TO THE 2 TO 5. BOB WIDENER SAYS OTHERS TRIED GETTING INTO THE EVENT SPACE, BUT THERE WAS A RUCKUS OUTSIDE. HIS FRIEND SAID, NO, THIS. THIS CLUB’S NOT OPEN. THIS IS JUST A PRIVATE SPACE. AND THEN SOMEBODY, SOMEBODY LET. THE SHOOTING KILLED 26 YEAR OLD AARON ANDERSON, JUNIOR, AND INJURED THREE OTHERS FOLLOWING. THE MAYOR PLACED AN EMERGENCY PROCLAMATION, AS SHE’S DONE THREE OTHER TIMES AS MAYOR, AND IT ALSO GIVES COUNCIL THE ABILITY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY’RE GOING TO DO BECAUSE THEY’RE THE ONES THAT TECHNICALLY HAVE THE FULL AUTHORITY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY CAN DO IN REGARDS TO THAT FACILITY. RULES OF THE PROCLAMATION SAYS IT’S CLOSED FOR SEVEN DAYS. HOWEVER, WIDENER SAYS THE EVENT SPACE MAY HEAD A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. I DON’T WANT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED, HAPPEN AGAIN. AND IT’S NOT BECAUSE THAT SPACE, BUT IT’S BECAUSE OF OTHER THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING UP THE STREET. SHE SAYS. ANYTIME SOMETHING UNFORTUNATE LIKE WHAT HAPPENED ON SUNDAY MORNING HAPPENS AGAIN, SHE WILL USE HER POWER TO PUT IN AN EMERGENCY PROCLAMATION TO GIVE HERSELF AND COUNCIL QUOTE, TIME TO GRIEVE. THAT’S WHAT SHE TOLD ME EARLIER IN STEELTON BOROUGH. HAZELTON WGAL NEWS 8. AND WE’RE FOLLOWING BREAKING NEWS. LANCASTER COUNTY EMERGENCY DISPATCHERS HAVE CONFIRMED A SCHOOL BUS WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH, AND STATE POLICE ARE NOW INVESTIGATING. WE ARE TOLD THIS HAPPENED JUST AFTER 130 AT THE INTERSECTION OF PETERS AND NORTH NEW HOLLAND ROADS AND LEACOCK TOWNSHIP. THE BUS AND ONE OTHER VEHICLE WERE INVOLVED IN THIS. THE SCENE SINCE CLEARED AND WE ARE STILL WORKING TO SEE IF ANYONE WAS INJURED OR WHERE THE. WHAT. WHAT SCHOOL DISTRICT THE BUS BELONGED TO. A MAN FROM CARLISLE WAS KILLED IN A CRASH IN FULTON COUNTY YESTERDAY. STATE POLICE SAY 74 YEAR OLD THEO BARROW DIED ON GREAT COVE ROAD IN DUBLIN TOWNSHIP, NORTH MECHANICSBURG STATE POLICE SAY AN SUV CROSSED THE CENTER LINE AND HIT BARROW’S MINIVAN. A DELIVERY DRIVER FROM YORK COUNTY IS ACCUSED OF TRYING TO SEXUALLY ASSAULT A GAS STATION EMPLOYEE IN CUMBERLAND COUNTY, 52 YEAR OLD JAMAL BARR OF HANOVER WAS MAKING A DELIVERY TO THE SPEEDWAY GAS STATION ALONG MARKET STREET IN LEMOYNE ON MARCH 18TH, WHEN WEST SHORE REGIONAL POLICE SAY HE TRIED TO PULL DOWN THE PANTS OF A FEMALE EMPLOYEE. POLICE SAY BARR THEN ALLEGEDLY GRABBED HER HAND AND MADE HER TOUCH HIM. CHARGING DOCUMENTS SAID THE BAR WAS ABLE TO BE IDENTIFIED FROM A DELIVERY RECEIPT. IN A LANDMARK DECISION, THE PENNSYLVANIA SUPREME COURT TODAY FOUND THAT SENTENCING PEOPLE CONVICTED OF SECOND DEGREE MURDER TO LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. SARAH METZ IS HERE TO EXPLAIN WHAT THIS MEANS. SARAH, IF SOMEONE WAS INVOLVED IN A DEADLY INCIDENT, BUT THEY DIDN’T INTEND FOR THAT INCIDENT TO BE DEADLY, AND THEY WEREN’T THE PERSON WHO PHYSICALLY KILLED SOMEONE ELSE. THAT PERSON CAN BE CONVICTED OF SECOND DEGREE MURDER, SOMETIMES ALSO CALLED FELONY MURDER. BUT THIS NEW RULING COMES AFTER AN APPEAL BY A MAN NAMED DEREK LEE, WHO WAS CONVICTED OF SECOND DEGREE MURDER BACK IN 2014. MR. LEE WAS A CODEFENDANT IN A HOME INVASION IN PITTSBURGH. MR. LEE’S CODEFENDANT SHOT AND KILLED ONE OF THE COUPLE WHOSE HOME WAS INVADED. MR. LEE PISTOL WHIPPED SOMEONE BUT WAS NOT PRESENT. HE WAS UPSTAIRS WHEN THE KILLING HAPPENED IN THE BASEMENT. AS STATE LAW MANDATES, LEE’S SENTENCE WAS LIFE WITHOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF PAROLE. THAT’S ACTUALLY THE SAME PUNISHMENT AS THE PERSON WHO CARRIED OUT THE KILLING. AND AS OF TODAY, THE PENNSYLVANIA SUPREME COURT SAYS THAT CONFLICTS WITH THE CONSTITUTION’S BAN ON CRUEL PUNISHMENT. IT SAYS THAT NOT EVERYONE INVOLVED IN A CRIME IS EQUALLY BLAMEWORTHY. I THINK IF YOU’RE IF YOU WERE THE PERPETRATOR OF THE HOMICIDE, YOU’RE. YOU’RE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO GET MUCH RELIEF. BUT IF YOU ARE THE SORT OF BYSTANDER WHO MAY HAVE PLANNED AND PARTICIPATED IN THE CRIME. BUT. BUT WAS NOT PRESENT IMMEDIATELY WHEN, FOR EXAMPLE, THE DEATH OCCURRED, YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO MAYBE ACHIEVE A MINIMUM SENTENCE THAT WOULD MAKE YOU ELIGIBLE FOR PAROLE. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY OPEN THE DOOR FOR RESENTENCING FOR ABOUT 1000 PEOPLE INCARCERATED ACROSS PENNSYLVANIA, BUT IT ALSO CHANGES THE DYNAMIC OF SENTENCING AND TRIALS GOING FORWARD. MORE THAN A DOZEN OF PARTIES, JUST LIKE THE D. A S ASSOCIATION, ACTUALLY FILED AMICUS BRIEFS IN SUPPORT OF LEE’S POSITION, INCLUDING THE GOVERNOR, NOW FORMER FEDERAL JUDGE. JONES SAYS HE BELIEVES THE COURTS ARE GOING TO BE VERY BUSY IN THE NEAR FUTURE, REVISITING THESE FELONY MURDER SENTENCES. I’M SARAH METZ, BACK TO YOU. ALL RIGHT. TAKE A LIVE LOOK OVER HERSHEY. THERE ARE SOME CLOUDS THERE, BUT OVERALL IT’S BEEN BEAUTIFUL TODAY. EXTREMELY WARM. BUT GET OUT. ENJOY IT NOW BECAUSE SOME RAIN IS ON THE WAY. YOU CAN SEE THE SUN STILL SHINING THERE IN HERSHEY AS WELL. METEOROLOGIST ETHAN HUSTON WAS A FABULOUS DAY TODAY. THAT’S RIGHT. THE CALENDAR SAYS MARCH, BUT IT FEELS MORE LIKE MAY OUT THERE ACROSS THE VALLEY. NOTICE THESE TEMPERATURES RISING INTO THE 70S AND A FEW ISOLATED SPOTS MAKING A RUN INTO THE 80S LIKE GETTYSBURG. RIGHT NOW, AT 81 DEGREES, 77. IF YOU’RE JOINING US FROM YORK OR LANCASTER, 76 RIGHT NOW IN THE CAPITAL CITY, WE ARE STARTING TO SEE MORE CLOUDS BUBBLE UP AS WE’RE HEADING INTO THE EVENING HOURS. BUT WE ARE STILL DRY. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE STILL WELL OFF TO OUR NORTH AND NORTHWEST, BUT THAT’S THE ENERGY AND THE RAIN THAT’S GOING TO BE COMING ON IN CLOSER TO THE VALLEYS. WE GET NEAR SUNSET AND AFTER SUNSET, SHOWERS BECOME MORE LIKELY AS A COLD FRONT STARTS PUSHING INTO THE REGION. YOU KNOW THE STORY. IT’S BEEN THE THEME THIS MONTH. WE GET TASTES OF VERY WARM WEATHER, BUT THEN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVE ON IN AHEAD OF A FRONT AND THEN TEMPERATURES WILL START TO DROP AGAIN. SO NOTICE HERE ON THE PREDICTOR I DO EXPECT THE SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL START TO APPROACH OUR NORTHWESTERN COMMUNITIES AS WE GET CLOSER TO 8:00. IF YOU’RE WATCHING US IN OUR LARGER CITIES LIKE LANCASTER, YORK, HARRISBURG, AND IT’S CLOSER TO 10:00, AND THEN WE’RE TALKING ROUNDS OF RAIN WITH SOME EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE NIGHT TONIGHT ON INTO EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. AND THOSE SHOWERS WILL START TAPERING OFF AS WE GET CLOSER TO, I’D SAY LUNCHTIME TOMORROW. SO NOTICE ON THAT 12 HOUR FORECAST, SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BECOME A BIT MORE LIKELY AS WE GET CLOSER TO 10:00. ROUNDS OF RAIN ARE LIKELY THROUGH THE MORNING COMMUTE TOMORROW, BUT COOLER WEATHER WILL RETURN, BUT WEATHER LOOKS TO STAY DRY THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND. I’LL TALK ABOUT THAT MORE COMING UP IN JUST A FEW MINUTES. IT’S THE START OF THE SPRING. IT’S GOOD WEATHER. WE LOVE BASEBALL. SO FOR ME, THIS IS MY SAFE SPACE MVP. HOW ABOUT THAT? MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL’S OPENING DAY IS FINALLY HERE. AMERICA’S PASTIME MAKES A TRIUMPHANT RETURN. AND WHAT A DAY. AS WE TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER. IT’S A PERFECT DAY FOR A PERFECT DAY FOR OPENING DAY. ALL THREE OF OUR AREA TEAMS, BY THE WAY, THE ORIOLES, PIRATES AND PHILLIES ARE IN ACTION, AND WE’VE GOT IT ALL COVERED FOR YOU TONIGHT. JACOB HALL IS LIVE WITH THE PHILLIES AT CITIZENS BANK PARK IN PHILADELPHIA, AND SPORTS DIRECTOR BETHANY MILLER IS LIVE AT CAMDEN YARDS FOR THE ORIOLES FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON. AND BETHANY, I KNOW YOU LOVE BEING THERE. OPENING DAY. DUQUESNE TWO GUYS REMEMBER WHEN I SAID MY SEROTONIN WOULD BE LIKE THROUGH THE ROOF STANDING ON EUTAW STREET? THAT IS CERTAINLY THE CASE OF WHAT I FEEL RIGHT NOW. OPENING DAY, MY WEDDING DAY. JUST KIDDING. I’M NOT KIDDING ABOUT IS HOW MUCH FUN WE’RE HAVING. CAN YOU TAKE A LOOK BEHIND ME? SOME OF THE FANS WALKING. THEY ARE SO PASSIONATE. SAY HI TO THE CAMERA. HI. OH MY GOSH, HE’S GOT A BELT. THAT’S HOW PASSIONATE WE ARE WITH THE HAWAIIAN T SHIRT ON TOO. THIS GAME HAS BEEN SO FUN. NOW IT TOOK A LITTLE BIT FOR THE SCORING TO GET UNDERWAY, BUT COLTON COWSER FINALLY BLEW IT OPEN HERE IN THE SEVENTH. THE ORIOLES HAVE A TWO NOTHING LEAD OVER THE MINNESOTA TWINS RIGHT NOW, AND WE’RE STILL IN THE BOTTOM OF THE SEVENTH AS WE GO ALONG. I TALKED WITH SOME OF THE MOST PASSIONATE ORIOLES FANS. THIS. OF COURSE, COMING UP AT FIVE AND AT SIX. GUYS, WE ARE HAVING SO MUCH FUN. AND CAN I. DID I MENTION THE BEAUTIFUL BASEBALL WEATHER AS WELL? IT’S PERFECT OUT HERE, SO I FEEL BAD FOR EVERYBODY. MAYBE IN AN AIR CONDITIONED STUDIO BACK IN LANCASTER AND NOW. NO, THAT IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE. JEALOUS OF HER OUT THERE TODAY. YEAH. THE PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES ALSO TOOK TO THE FIELD IN THE LAST HOUR ON HOME TURF NONETHELESS. YEAH. LET’S HEAD OUT TO JACOB HALL WITH THE FANS THERE ARE SAYING BEAUTIFUL DAY THERE AS WELL. LOOK AT THIS. JACOB HALL COMFY COVERING THE GAME. HEY YOU KNOW I CAN TELL YOU GUYS THIS IS A FIRST FOR ME. I’VE NEVER DONE A LIVE SHOT BEFORE IN AN ADIRONDACK CHAIR. BUT I MEAN WHEN YOU GOT THE PHILLIES LOGO ON THE CHAIR, WE’RE RIGHT BEHIND HOME PLATE ON THE ENTRANCE HERE. IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DAY AT CITIZENS BANK PARK. I MEAN, WHY NOT? I MEAN, WE’VE BEEN HERE SINCE ABOUT 1130. FANS HAVE BEEN TAILGATING ME AND MY PHOTOGRAPHER JALEN FANS GAVE US SOME CHICKEN TENDERS, SOME STEAKS, SOME PEPPERS. I MEAN, WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR AGAIN HERE. AND WE HAVE A FAN COME THROUGH HERE. HE’S WALKING RIGHT THROUGH. THAT’S OKAY. THERE’S A LOT OF FANS AROUND. WE’VE GOT THE GAME OVER TO MY RIGHT. FANS AGAIN WALKING THROUGH. BUT THE PHILLIES ARE UP TWO TO NOTHING IN THIS GAME. KYLE SCHWARBER WHO ELSE HAS A HOME RUN IN THE FIRST INNING? HE’S GETTING OFF TO A HOT START. IF YOU REMEMBER LAST YEAR HE HIT 56 HOME RUNS, WHICH WAS A CAREER HIGH. HE FINISHED SECOND IN THE MVP VOTING BEHIND SHOHEI OHTANI. BUT THESE FANS ARE SO EXCITED TO HAVE BASEBALL BACK HERE IN SOUTH PHILADELPHIA. WE’RE GOING TO BE TALKING TO THOS
