Eric Frein's Dramatic ?? First Court Appearance After Capture

 

 

Accused cop killer Eric Frein made his first court appearance today, looking gaunt and his face bruised, as he was arraigned on murder charges in Milford, Pennsylvania.

Frein, who police say shot two state troopers on Sept. 12 before fleeing into the woods, had a gash on his nose and was booed outside the packed courthouse by locals, including one woman who yelled, "You're lucky we didn't get you during hunting season."

Other angry spectators shouted "coward" and "scumbag" as Frein, 31, remained stone-faced, wearing an orange prison jumpsuit.

He did not enter a plea. Magisterial District Judge Shannon Muir asked Frein if he understood the charges and that he could face a life sentence or the death penalty, to which Frein responded, "I do."
