Father of officer's killer convicted of witness intimidation
NEW KENSINGTON — The father of a man convicted in the fatal shooting of a police officer has been found guilty of intimidating a potential witness in his son’s trial.
A Westmoreland County jury convicted Gregory Baucum, 49, on two misdemeanor counts Wednesday but acquitted him on a felony charge. The former Arnold resident faces up to four years in state prison.
The woman did not testify at the trial of Baucum’s son, Rahmael Sal Holt. He was sentenced to death after being convicted last year of first-degree murder in the 2017 shooting death of New Kensington Police Officer Brian Shaw.
