Washington County District Attorney Jason Walsh announced on Thursday that a North Strabane Township man, found guilty last month of murdering his wife, will spend the rest of his life behind bars.  Jason Walsh says Scott Edmonds, a physical therapist who was charged and convicted of killing his 49-year-old wife, Louise Weis-Edmonds in March of 2014, was sentenced by Washington County Judge John DiSalle, to life without the possibility of parole on the first-degree murder conviction, plus one to two years in a state prison on the second charge.  A jury deliberated just over an hour, before finding Edmonds guilty of first-degree murder and tampering with or fabricating physical evidence.  Edmonds trial lasted for five days.
