The Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued an Order denying the Petition for Allowance of Appeal of James Bidwell to try to overturn his 2020 murder conviction for the killing of Kristin Wagner, whose body was found hanging in a broken refrigerated trailer in a scrap yard owned by Bidwell in East Stroudsburg in June of 2011. Bidwell was sentenced in July of 2020 to life without parole. The Supreme Court’s denial of Bidwell’s appeal effectively marks the end of his direct appeal rights in the matter.
