Steve Molin gets 25 Years

Steve Molin, the Darby Borough man, convicted of killing his 85-year-old mother last August on a remote Maryland Road, was sentenced today to 25 years in prison today. He will serve the sentence at a Maryland state facility designed to house both the physically and mentally handicapped.

According to his friend, Harry Collinson, Molin gave a rambling 25-minute statement to the court. A psychiatric evaluation ordered by the judge found that Molin most likely suffers from Asperger's syndrome a form of autism.

He maintained that his mother fell out of his truck as he was driving on a remote country road and that he accidentally backed over her.

Police and prosecutors however argued that the injuries to Emily Molin couldn't have happened the way Molin described and a jury agreed.
