Mother pleads to endangerment, to testify in toddler's death

EBENSBURG, Pa. (AP) — A federal public defender is seeking bail for a western Pennsylvania man granted a new trial in his ex-wife's slaying a quarter-century ago. Kevin Charles Siehl, now 60, was sentenced to life in prison in the July 1991 slaying of Christine Siehl, who was found stabbed to death in a bathtub with the shower still running. A judge ruled that a Cambria County prosecutor didn't disclose blood evidence that may have helped him. The (Johnstown) Tribune-Democrat (http://bit.ly/2cQ883l ) reports that public defender Lisa Freeland said in a Sept. 7 motion that her client's health has deteriorated during his incarceration. She cited a 2009 heart attack and implantation of a pacemaker in 2014. Freeland is seeking bail pending resolution of the case but also said the charges should be dismissed.
