Crime
In the very early morning hours of August 28, 2005, Appellant fatally
shot three men outside of the United Veterans Association (“UVA”), a
private social club in Altoona, Blair County, after he and two friends,
Travis Shumaker and Shirley Shumaker, were denied admission. The victims
were Alfred Mignogna, the owner of the club; Frederick Rickabaugh, the
bouncer; and Stephen Heiss, a bystander/patron of the club. Shortly
after the shootings, Appellant called 911 and told the operator that he
thought he had hurt someone. Police found Appellant at the Shumaker
residence and took him into custody approximately an hour after the
shootings. Appellant was charged by information with three counts of
criminal homicide; one count of aggravated assault, felony of the first
degree; one count of aggravated assault, felony of the second degree;
and one count each of recklessly endangering another person and illegal
alien not to possess/use a firearm.1
At trial, which was held in Blair County before a jury chosen from
citizens of Cumberland County, defense counsel acknowledged that
Appellant had shot the three men, but he attempted to introduce a
defense of diminished capacity due to alcohol- and marijuana-induced
intoxication.
