http://wnep.com/2014/08/29/hearing-for-woman-accused-of-killing-ex-husband/

A woman accused of killing her ex-husband in Columbia County was in court Friday at a hearing that lasted most of the day. And while prosecutors proceed with her homicide case, they admit they still haven’t been able to locate the woman’s father who also faces charges...

Sanutti -Spencer continues to claim she is innocent but several witnesses testified that they saw her intimidate her husband on more than one occasion.

The witnesses claim she said she could have her ex-husband killed if she wanted to and they say she admitted to setting fire to his house. “If she didn’t pull the trigger she knows who did.”

A man accused of conspiring with his daughter to kill her ex-husband has been apprehended in Argentina, state police announced Wednesday.

Anthony Rocco Franklin, 72, was taken into custody Monday by police in Buenos Aires. The arrest came after law enforcement officials in Pennsylvania secured an international arrest warrant for Franklin on charges of murder, criminal conspiracy, arson and other crimes...

Franklin was arrested by the Argentina Federal Police in Buenos Aires, according to a news release issued by state police and the state Attorney General's office. Franklin was walking down the street of Gurruchaga, a street in the neighborhood of Palermo, at the time he was apprehended, state police said.

Murder suspect Maria Sanutti-Spencer claims she did not kill her estranged husband and is asking the state attorney general’s office to provide her with evidence other than just stating she was involved.

She has filed a bill of particulars, while authorities await the extradition from Argentina of her father, Anthony Rocco Franklin, who also has been charged in Frank Spencer’s death.

Convicted murderer Maria Sanutti-Spencer will be sentenced a week before Christmas after a jury found her guilty of killing her ex-husband in 2012.

Sanutti-Spencer, 50, of Selinsgrove, has already been transferred from the Columbia County Jail to the State Correctional Institution at Muncy.

http://www.dailyitem.com/news/frank...cle_50b24f60-9ee0-11e5-98a6-af85f1b578ea.html

An Argentine judge told accused murderer Rocco Franklin to pack his bags after he signed an order late last week approving the extradition of the 73-year-old back to Columbia County to stand trial for allegedly killing his son-in-law in 2012...

Franklin has the right to appeal, which he has exercised, and under Argentinian law, he gets one appeal to the Argentinian Supreme Court, Barletta said.
 
Franklin, attorney push to move murder trial out of Columbia County

http://www.dailyitem.com/news/franklin-attorney-push-to-move-murder-trial-out-of-columbia/article_cde5543c-dad4-11e7-b9fe-7bc4ee25770f.html

Accused murderer Anthony "Rocco" Franklin and his attorney argued Wednesday the media coverage of Franklin's case is so extensive he should get a change of venue because reporters and community members have already convicted him.

More than 20 friends and family members of murder victim Frank Spencer attended the hearing. Franklin is accused of gunning down Spencer, 46, of Millville, who was his ex-son-in-law, in July 2012 outside Spencer’s Millville home, according to state police. Franklin's daughter and Spencer's ex-wife Maria Sanutti-Spencer, 52, of Selinsgrove, was convicted in 2015 of the slaying.

Judge David Grine said Ulmer will be Franklin's attorney and that if Franklin changes his mind, no matter who he gets to represent him, including Franklin himself, "the trial is set and there will be no delays," Grine said. "This trial will start no matter what."

Grine ordered a jury be selected on March 13 and that the trial, which is to last no more than seven days, to begin the following day.

Sanutti-Spencer is waiting a decision from the state Superior Court on whether or not she will be granted a new trial based off her claims that her trial judge, made numerous errors, including telling the jury she was guilty.

https://ujsportal.pacourts.us/DocketSheets/CPReport.ashx?docketNumber=CP-19-CR-0000754-2014

I'm not sure why the offense date for the charges is listed as October 2009 if Frank Spencer was murdered in July of 2012.
 
Attorney: Bring daughter back to testify in Franklin murder case

http://www.dailyitem.com/news/attorney-bring-daughter-back-to-testify-in-franklin-murder-case/article_8e282722-1362-11e8-a8fc-0b67520b33e7.html

Attorney Brian Ulmer asked Centre County Senior Judge David Grine on Friday to order Franklin's daughter, Maria Sanutti-Spencer to testify to her statements that her father killed her ex-husband Frank Spencer, 46, of Millville.

Grine will rule on the motions on whether or not Franklin can act as co-counsel and if the jury can visit the murder scene during the March trial.
 
Murder trial moved to October

http://www.dailyitem.com/news/local_news/murder-trial-moved-to-october/article_4b01e222-bac3-5761-82c9-abeba45dd081.html

Accused killer Anthony “Rocco” Franklin captured a small victory when a senior judge granted the Harrisburg man a continuance in his murderer trial that was set to begin this week.

Franklin, 75, filed two motions Friday in front of Centre County Senior Judge David Grine asking for a continuance and once again seeks to represent himself.

Grine granted the continuance to October and Franklin’s attorney Brian Ulmer, of Lewisburg, will remain on the job.
 
Franklin murder trial begins at 9 a.m.

The homicide trial against accused killer Anthony “Rocco” Franklin begins this morning where he will defend himself against the claims he shot his ex-son in law.

The trial is set to begin with opening arguments at 9 a.m. in Columbia County Court, Bloomsburg.
