He eluded police for nearly two months, and has been jailed for three more. But the death-penalty trial for Eric Frein could still be more than a year away.
On Thursday, Frein pleaded not guilty to charges he plotted the ambush that killed one state trooper and wounded a second last September in nearby Blooming Grove. It was his first court appearance since prosecutors officially declared they would seek the death penalty against him.
In a brief court appearance via video feed from the Pike County prison, the self-styled survivalist remained expressionless and responded politely to County Court Judge Gregory H. Chelak.
Frein waived his formal arraignment and said he understood the charges against him, which include murder, terrorism, and possession of explosive devices.
The 31-year-old Canadensis man is accused of killing Cpl. Bryon Dickson and wounding Trooper Alex Douglass outside their state police barracks on Sept. 12. Police also said they found two pipe bombs at Frein’s campsite in Monroe County. In court filings, prosecutors have said Frein planned the shootings in a bid to stir a change in the government.
It was his first court hearing since District Attorney Raymond J. Tonkin filed notice this week that he is seeking the death penalty against Frein.
