UNIONTOWN, Pa. (AP) - A western Pennsylvania judge will decide whether to allow prosecutors to use statements by the wife of a county commissioner to police following her arrest in the shooting of her husband.
Forty-eight-year-old Donna Vicites is charged in Fayette County with attempted homicide, aggravated assault and related offenses in a July 17 shooting in the couple’s South Union Township home that wounded Commissioner Vincent Vicites in the neck.
The (Uniontown) Herald-Standard (https://bit.ly/2mwyzgL ) reports that defense attorney Douglas Sepic also wants a resisting arrest charge to be dismissed. Prosecutors agreed Thursday to dismiss a firearms count.
Vincent Vicites, a Democrat from Uniontown, served four terms as a Fayette County commissioner from 1996 to 2011. He ran again for the board last year and won a seat in November.
