Slain trooper’s widow angry ‘I can’t grow old with him now’
MILFORD, Pa. — The widow of a state police trooper shot and killed by a survivalist in a 2014 ambush described a sad, lonely life without him and said their two young sons are struggling.
“I don’t have a break. I’m just really tired,” Tiffany Dickson, the widow of Cpl. Bryon Dickson II, told jurors on Thursday at the trial of her husband’s killer. “He was my break, and he was a really good teammate. I’m just angry I can’t grow old with him now.”
She testified at a hearing to determine whether Eric Frein will be sentenced to death or to life in prison without parole.
Frein, 33, was convicted on Wednesday of all 12 charges he faced after targeting the state police in a late-night sniper attack. He was captured after a weekslong manhunt.
