More than 60 people packed a Washington County courtroom to hear the plea agreement for a Peters Township man who brutally attacked a woman with a hammer in July of 2023. William Oberschelp, 29, of McMurray pleaded guilty to attempted homicide and received a 16.5 to 33 year prison sentence for beating his ex-girlfriend Jennifer Pardini with a hammer and kicking her until she was unconscious. Several victim impact statements were read by family members accompanied by several pictures of Jennifer, depicting her skull fracture and broken jaw, while she was in the hospital. Jennifer’s father Ronald Pardini called Oberschelp a coward, fraud and a psychopath; predicting that he “will rot in hell.” Jennifer Pardini (pictured) thanked everyone for their support. She derided a voicemail that Oberschelp left her after the attack that asked her “please don’t be mad.” Pardini was proud to say that she could do all the things that doctors said may not come back. On the stand she reflected on how she can walk, she can talk and she can recall all that he did to her that night. She closed by describing a tattoo she got saying “and still I rise” and triumphantly exclaiming “I am a survivor.” In addition to his prison term, Oberschelp did express remorse for his attack. He said he was endlessly sorry for the injuries he caused her and her family and blamed his alcoholism, drug addiction and a psychotic crisis at the time. Oberschelp was also sentenced to a concurrent 20 years of probation for burglary. He also must make restitution in the amount of $27,959.07.
