Lebanon County District Attorney Pier Hess Graf announced that she will hold a press conference in the courthouse lobby immediately following sentencing.
Hess Graf had been joined in the case by special assistant prosecutor Edward McCann, the senior assistant district attorney in Montgomery County, who offered his services for free and took a week of vacation to assist at trial. Maurer was represented in the case by court-appointed defense attorney Andrew Race.
Earlier this year, Scott Schollenberger Jr. pled guilty for the death of Maxwell and was sentenced to life without parole.
