Forty-six-year-old Steven Tielsch of Penn Hills, Pa., was convicted in 2002 of third-degree murder at his fourth trial in the April 1986 slaying of 25-year-old Neal Rosenblum of Toronto.
Three earlier juries had deadlocked.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court had previously rejected an appeal claiming prosecutorial misconduct and double jeopardy.
Tielsch is serving 10 to 20 years in prison.
Prosecutors say Rosenblum, who was wearing traditional Orthodox Jewish garb at the time, was shot because he looked Jewish.
Nuteh “Neal” Rosenbloom was my cousin, he was one of a kind, he was a talmid chochom and he had his feet firmly planted on the ground, he was a baal midos tovos bar-non we will never recover what we lost, let this bastard rot in hell, the longer the better.
I know Rabbi Rosenbloom’s mishpacah in Toronto and I am sorry I never had a chance to befriend him. All of the family are of the best Klal Yisroel.
is this the same court who said that in the rubashkin cast that all jews are a flight risk?
rabosei! we need to shake up the court system
2 you are nuts. if you dont like the american court systen, you could go back to Germany, Russia, Poland,or other Europeen countrys they like the jews so much hu.
Nuttie Rosenblum was my chavruso at one time. He was a talented, bright ben torah and a godol in anivus. We still miss him in Toronto. If there is justice in the world, his lowlife killer will serve his full sentence and get shivved one day before release.
