MAN ACCUSED OF KILLING OWNER OF MOGIE’S PUB RETURNING TO JAIL TO AWAIT MURDER TRIAL

The man accused of killing the owner of Mogie’s Pub in late 2023 will return to Westmoreland County Jail to await his murder trial.  The Trib reports that Common Pleas Court Judge Christopher Feliciani on Thursday denied a defense request for 47-year-old Nathan Salem to remain in Torrance State Hospital, where he has received treatment for over a year after he was arrested for the alleged murder of David “Mogie” Magill.  Defense attorney Dan Joseph said there are concerns that Salem could backslide into incompetency once back in the county jail.  The judge said Salem will be able to receive continuing treatment while at the jail.
