In the final phase of his second murder trial in Montrose, convicted murderer Stephen Scher was sentenced to life in prison. Scher was convicted of the 1976 killing of Martin Dillon, an attorney in Montrose. He was also ordered to pay court costs, etc. Although it has been established that Scher is indigent, it appears the thought may be that if he were to come into money at some point or if there is a life insurance policy, a portion or all of the proceeds could be used to satisfy this demand.
Scher, of course has the right of appeal. It is not known at this time whether he will excercise this option.
