Trial of three Gingerich brothers moved to November term09/01/07 —
The trial of three Amish brothers, charged with conspiring to conceal the
whereabouts of a child, and other related charges, has been continued from the
September term of criminal court to the November term.
Atlee D. Gingerich, Edward Gingerich and Joseph Gingerich wereFive years and one day! What the hell happened there?
charged by Pennsylvania State Police following an incident in April when
Edward’s 17-year-old daughter was allegedly coerced into going with her father
against her will.
Pennsylvania State Police filed charges after Edward Gingerich
allegedly coerced Mary Gingerich to leave her grandparents’ home with him. Her
grandparents reported the teen missing; state police found the girl with her
father at a camp in the Allegheny Mountains near Kane on April 22 and returned
Mary to her grandparents.
Mary Gingerich has lived with her grandparents
since her father killed his wife, Katie, in 1993 at their Rockdale Township
home. Gingerich was convicted of involuntary manslaughter, but mentally ill, in
1994 and served five years and one day for that charge. He had been living out
of state until his return to the Amish community in Rockdale
Township.
Does anyone know whether this sentence was in line with say, a non-Amish defendant under similar circumstances?

Edward reportedly suffers from Paranoid Schiz. Last report has him living in a community for "troubled" Amish in Evart, MI.
