GREENSBURG, Pa. (AP) – A man convicted of murder for a fatal shooting that he said was committed by his now-deceased twin brother has been sentenced to life in prison without parole. Darrelle Tolbert-McGhee also received a five-to-10 year term for a related weapons offense. The 31-year-old Penn Hills man had been convicted in January by a Westmoreland County in the April 2017 slaying of Michael Wilson in downtown Jeannette. Tolbert-McGhee didn’t speak during the sentencing hearing Wednesday. His lawyer said his client maintains his innocence and will appeal the convictions. Prosecutors have argued that evidence from eyewitnesses identified the defendant as the shooter and his identity wasn’t in question.
