Steven Dale Branscome

Click to Enlarge
A Mercer County Magistrate Court certified three charges against Steven Dale Branscome to the grand jury following a preliminary hearing this morning in Princeton, WV.

Branscome, was originally charged with wanton endangerment, malicious wounding of a police officer, grand larceny and burglary following the shooting of Virginia State Trooper Richard Hughes on March 28.

In the hearing this morning, two of the three charges were reduced. The wanton endangerment charge was certified, the charge of malicious wounding to a police officer was reduced to malicious wounding and sent to the grand jury, because the original charge only applies to West Virginia police officers, the burglary charge was also certified, while the grand larceny charge was reduced to petit larceny, after the prosecution failed to prove the value of the pickup truck he had stolen near Kellysville, WV.

Today's Birthday
  • J. M. Barrie
    Sir James Matthew Barrie was a Scottish novelist and dramatist best known for creating the character Peter Pan, whom he based on his friends, the Llewelyn Davies boys. Educated at Dumfries Academy and Edinburgh University, he became a journalist and, later, a celebrated novelist who counted Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Thomas Hardy amongst his friends and acquaintances. Why was Barrie disappointed with the statue of Peter Pan erected in Kensington Gardens, London?
