Renee DiPetro Case
A Montgomery County, Pennsylvania woman who killed a man with a weaponized cane has been sentenced to decades behind bars.
Renee DiPietro, 70, was sentenced to 20 to 40 years in prison during a hearing on Monday.
DiPietro was convicted of third-degree murder in the killing of 31-year-old Michael Sides in Ardmore.
She stabbed him with a 16-inch blade that was hidden in her walking cane
DiPietro’s son sucker-punched a friend of the victim at a bar and then called his mother, who came to the bar with her husband.
While there, Sides tried to stop her son from getting in their car.
That’s when DiPietro stabbed him twice with a 16-inch blade that was hidden in her walking cane that doubled as a sheath.
Video played in court showed she did not try to help him or call 911 afterward.
She maintains she was acting in self-defense.
The assistant district attorney in this case said the way DiPietro behaved during the fight, and immediately after the victim fell and was bleeding, demonstrated an indifference to the value of his life.
