More than two hours into a public meeting Wednesday night, Erie City Council President Mel Witherspoon launched into personal story and said he shot someone in the head in college and got away with it. The shooting of the student athlete happened in his dorm room at a junior college, he said.
He was at the college from 1962-1964. He didn’t confirm whether the student died and PennLive could not immediately locate any news stories from the 1960s about a student being shot or killed at Witherspoon’s college.
He told the story after hours of community questioning about the controversial death of 43-year-old Marchello Woodward, who was shot by a state parole agent on July 2. Witherspoon said he didn’t go to a rally for Woodward or his funeral because it brought back memories of the killing he did and memories of his brother’s death.
