EBENSBURG —
A 24-year-old Cresson Township man was sentenced on Tuesday to 20 to 40 years in state prison on a guilty plea to third-degree murder in the shooting death of his mother.
It was a violent act that he cannot explain.
Judge Patrick Kiniry asked, “Why?”
Andrew Choros said only, “No comment.”
It’s an act that still puzzles prosecutors, and even his defense attorney, Kenneth Sottile, told the judge that it remains a mystery.
Choros fatally shot his mother, 50-year-old Sharon Choros, on Oct. 24, 2010, at the family home in the 500 block of Central Avenue, after she had returned home from Penn Cambria School District.
