Thief, Not A Killer: Defense Description Of Lepsch
Somebody killed two people at a La Crosse camera shop…but Jeff Lepsch didn’t do it.
That’s the defense argument being made today, at the start of Lepsch’s trial for the shooting deaths of Paul and A.J. Petras of La Crosse. Defense attorney Vincent Rust says police didn’t find anything at Lepsch’s home which would prove he was connected to the murders. Rust says Lepsch was always looking for photo equipment to sell, but he never tried looking at May’s Photo, where the murders occurred. Prosecutors say stolen goods from the store were found at Lepsch’s home.
