BUTLER CO., Pa. (EYT) — The case against a Butler County man accused of shooting his wife has been held for court.
According to online court documents, the case against 30-year-old Joshua Paladin Crawford, of Chicora, has been transferred to Butler County Court of Common Pleas.
Crawford has been charged in the fatal shooting of his wife of three months — Sarah Crawford — that occurred on December 4 at his residence in Donegal Township, Butler County.
Following the December 20 hearing in front of Judge Lewis E. Stoughton, the family of Sarah Crawford is asking for justice, “saying there’s no reason why she had to die,” according to a published article on Pittsburgh-CBS.
“He took pieces of our heart when he killed her, and we just hope that he gets punished as severely as possible,” stated Sarah’s grandmother.
