Pope said he didn't have a chance for a fair trial. U.S. officials agree, and say the charges against him are trumped up. Russian authorities say Pope tried to buy secret blue prints for a high speed torpedo. If convicted, Pope faces up to 20 years in prison. An alarm alerted police to the scene, and when they arrived, they say they found a suspect.
Police say the suspect fled, and a search began.
Police found him a short time later, hiding in a nearby garage. Troopers say the body was found Monday in Huston Township, Centre County, near where David Williams of Clearfield County was reported missing. Authorities say there has been no positive identification. It took a Blair County jury nearly 5 hours to find Scott Allen Crownover of Altoona not guilty on two counts each of attempted homicide, aggravated assault and simple assault. Crownover claimed self defense for shooting at a car driven by his ex-girlfriend's estranged husband, saying he feared he would be run over.
