Death penalty sought for 'cop killer' Eric Frein

Prosecutors will seek the death penalty in the case against accused cop killer Eric Frein after cops finally caught up with him almost six weeks on the run in the Pocono Mountaints.
U.S. marshals busted the self taught survivalists in an abandoned airline hangar, reportedly with a handgun and sniper. He gave up without a fight.
"Now he will face justice," Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett said, adding that he would seek the death penalty.
Frein now faces multiple charges in relation to the killing of State Police Cpl. Bryon Dickson and wounding Trooper Alex Douglas in an ambush on the Blooming Grove barracks on Sept. 12.
They included first-degree murder, homicide of a law enforcement officer, attempted murder and possession of weapons of mass destruction.

'Gutless' Eric Frein left 'functional' bombs in woods

'Gutless'
"Gutless" cop-killer Eric Frein planted two "fully functional" pipe bombs in the dense Pennsylvania woods, police said.
State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens said that the explosives could have been detonated by a tripwire or lighted fuse.
He added that this was consistent with the crazy survivalist's "gutless efforts to kill and injure law enforcement from a distance."
Officers searching for Frein had also found other supplies that the fugitive had "hastily" left behind but he did not say what they were.
I'm calling on you to surrender," Bivens said. "You are clearly stressed. You are making significant mistakes."
