The family of Angela Steigerwalt burst into sobs Tuesday in a Lehigh County courtroom as jurors found an Allentown man guilty of strangling her and setting her body ablaze.
The Lehigh County jury deliberated for more than 5 hours before convicting Anthony Heath of all the charges against him: murder in the first degree, abuse of a corpse, tampering with evidence, theft, receiving stolen property and access device fraud.

So?
Why does it take these juries so long to come to a decision? One hour seems like plenty, and even that includes a coffee break.
Sometimes I wonder if these people get paid by the hour or something.
Would a mentally ill person be able to understand this option?
Angela is white. Anthony is black. Therefore, this is not worthy of press coverage or riots.
So she cheated on her husband and her “lover” killed her. So long slut.
Why would you involve yourself with someone so volatile that he would strangle you for not giving him a ride?
Why would you involve yourself with someone so stupid that he figured burning the body would get him off the hook? Then, knowing he was guilty, he decided on a trial at which he would conduct his own defense.
Surely she could have found someone less volatile and a little smarter.
Another burning. They still haven’t caught whoever burned Jessica Chambers alive.
The jury instructions are typically opaque, convoluted, and lengthy.
But what was her position on gay marriage?
It’s the OJ Syndrome. OJ couldn’t stand the thought of Anna Nicole with someone else.
How long until "neclacing" catches on here?
Yup. Ron Goldman returned her glasses from the restaurant, and in a spontaneous act of gratitude she gave him a hug and a peck on the cheek, just as OJ came around the corner...
(My take on what happened.)
It is a common scenario in that realm. The girl has to move out of town to protect herself from the obsessive stalking ex. And she will get none of the protection normally afforded to women who are stalked.
It’s probably just a matter of time, but burning people in their cars, houses, & fields seems to be the preferred method here. And there was that woman in Houston who took a blowtorch to a little 9 year old boy.
Our juries get paid ten dollars a day plus mileage.
Why would you assume that she would have known in advance that he would do those things?
ESP?

You think infidelity is worthy of death?
We don’t even know if they were lovers. That’s what he is saying. She could have been just trying to help a friend out. Your mind is sick and twisted.
