An upstate New York man convicted of murdering his parents and brother in northeastern Pennsylvania is being spared the death penalty.
A Bradford County jury couldn't reach a unanimous agreement Friday on whether 32-year-old Steven Colegrove, of Deposit, N.Y., deserves capital punishment. That means he automatically gets life without parole.
The bodies of 60-year-old Joseph Colegrove, 56-year-old Marlene Colegrove and 36-year-old Michael Colegrove were found in their home near Towanda on Aug. 8, 2007.
Prosecutors say Steven Colegrove killed his family to collect an inheritance.
