NEW YORK — Authorities will not bring any charges against the man accused of fatally shooting Jamaican immigrant Peter Spencer nine times on a camping trip in western Pennsylvania last December.
"We believe in this case that there is enough evidence presented for self-defense that we are not going to be able to overcome our burden and show this was not self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt, and for that reason, there will be no charges filed against the suspect in this case," District Attorney Shawn White told reporters Tuesday.Spencer who is Black, went on a camping trip with a co-worker, who is white, in Rockland Township, Pennsylvania, on Dec. 11, 2021.
Police said they found multiple firearms,"ballistic evidence" and controlled substances at the cabin. "We also have been making sure that there isn't any hate and/or bias detected throughout this investigation, and I can tell you right now that there's not been any sort of hate and/or bias detected," Allen said."We are not surprised by it, this is the type of behavior we have seen from the PA State Police and Venango County District Attorney from the outset," Paul Jubas, the attorney for Peter Spencer's family, said in a statement.
