PA Rape-Case Witness Killed While Hunting

Speaking of “hunting accidents” that may not be hunting accidents . . . from Lebanon Daily News:

A central Pennsylvania woman who police said was shot to death while hunting Saturday was to be the main witness in a rape trial next month.

State police said Monday that the death of 21-year-old Racheal Lynn Perryman of Port Matilda is being investigated by the state police, county coroner and state Game Commission. . . .

Prosecutor Stephen Sloane said the charges in the rape case will probably be withdrawn as a result of Perryman's death.

WTF is going on this year? Is it just my perception or have there been alot of people shot while hunting this year compared to previous years?

I wonder how many of the unfortunates were wearing camo and not wearing blaze? It always surprises me that people are willing to risk getting killed wearing their camo just to make a fashion statement.

Witness dies in freak hunting accident--I don't believe in that kind of coincidence. I hope they can get him with a murder charge, 'cause it looks like he's going to get away with the rape.
To Mike D, I noticed that too. It seems like there've been a lot of hunting accidents this year.

She was muzzleloader hunting with her boyfriend. They say it happend around 9pm but it gets dark around 6:20. The guy who supposedly raped her was workin at the bryce jordan center at the time of the incident. Seems fishy to me! I dont know how people shoot other people "on accident" when hunting. Just a couple months ago some guy shot a women while he was spring gobbler hunting! She was walking her dog!!!! Who shoots at movement?!?!?!

Great, some jackweed is gonna get away with rape because somebody can't use a gun! Hunting's only for smart people, like the ones you'd find on Feild and Stream.com

There are plenty of assumptions we can all make. There are plenty of conclusions we can come to in our minds. When you hear about something like this the facts point to something too convenient for just an 'accident'.

It is stuff like this that makes paranoid people want to take our arms away. Poor woman shoulda had some kevlar on under the camo. Oh well, woulda shoulda coulda. Karma will tell and forensics is pretty good these days, The shooter will likely eventually be nabbed, because LEO's don't like it when walking turds do crap like this, now their attention is focussed.
Still and all, even if the cops are incompetant and can't find their noses with their thumbs, if a rapist gets away once, he'll do it again (but now annoyed policemen are watching, even the walls will have eyes).
It is my observation that thoughtless inconsiderate persons who take advantage of others weakness for their pleasure generally (like Tom Horn), braid their own hangin' ropes for their own gallows. Their actions lead to their own downfall.
