The trial of a Derry Township man charged with trying to kill his wife continues today.
The Trib reports that 63-year-old William Dankesreiter, Jr. is accused of setting up a trip wire on the basement steps three years ago in the hope that his wife would fall down the stairs to her death. Prosecutors claim that William Dankesreiter intended to kill his wife and collect a $300,000 life insurance policy, but the defense will say that police did not investigate the matter thoroughly, and they will refute claims of the involvement of another woman.
