Penalty Phase of Trial Starts

The penalty phase of a triple-murder trial in Towanda has started.

The jury will decide if 32-year-old Steven Colegrove should be sentenced to death for killing his parents and brother in August of 2007. He was convicted of first-degree murder on Wednesday.

Colegrove automatically gets life without parole if the jury decides against the death penalty.

Prosecutors say Colegrove killed his family to collect an inheritance.
