Edia “Richie” Lawrence, 22, is already serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for the brutal murder of 19-year-old Ahshantianna Ali Johnson, known as Shanti.
An execution date has been set for one of York County s most notorious mass killers.
But, since Gov. Tom Wolf has set a moratorium on executions in the state, it is not likely that Paul Gamboa-Taylor will make his May 14 appointment in the state s death chamber.
On Thursday, Department of Corrections Secretary John Wetzel signed what s called a Notice of Execution, setting an execution date for the 60-year-old mass killer. It is mostly a procedural matter. The law requires the corrections secretary to sign a warrant of execution when the governor does not take action within a specified period of time.
