Monday, December 12, 2016Alan Hassman, 77, of Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, and Big Sky, Montana, died unexpectedly on Sunday, Nov. 27, 2016, at the Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania.Born Nov. 2, 1939 in Hew Hampton, Iowa, he was the son of the late Elmer and Ina (Zierath) Hassman.Alan served in the National Guard and was a graduate of Wartburg College, in Waverly, Iowa, where he studied business and became an all-state wrestler. He was a member of Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania.Hassman is best remembered by those who knew him as a man who lived life to its fullest. Most comfortable in jeans and well-worn cowboy boots, he was a striking man with loads of charisma. You knew when he was near by his unmistakable and unabashed laugh that could fill any room. He had a big personality and was always ready with one of his (in)famous jokes. He had incredible stamina and he believed that anything was possible through hard work.He was selfless and gave much of himself. It gave him great pleasure to b...
Monday, August 01, 2016Moore, Rutter's cousin, avoided the death penalty when he reached a plea agreement in February. He is currently serving a life sentence plus 20 years at the State Correctional Institution at Camp Hill in Cumberland County after pleading guilty to murder of the first degree and related burglary and robbery charges.On Friday, Mathewson's family finally had a chance to address the second person now convicted of the random robbery and murder.Mark Mathewson, Nicole's father, requested that Marcus Rutter read every obituary, every newspaper article, every memorial posting and every social media post about his daughter.I know you did not know her, he said as he stared at Rutter.“You need to understand what a beautiful life you destroyed on Dec. 14, 2014,” Mathewson said.Mark Mathewson refused to call Rutter by his name, afraid it would suggest any type of respect he was unwilling to provide.“Was it worth it? Such a waste,” Mathewson said.Family friend Dave Foster asked Ashworth to lock up Rutter, who he referred to as a “creature,” for the “next millennium.”“I wish for you the life that you gave Nicole during those last few hours,” he said.Nicole Mathewson, 32, who taught sixth grade at Brownstown Elementary, was described as having a “big heart” and was an "endless light.”Close to 1,000 people gathered at The Worship Center to celebrate Mathewson's life Jan. 3, 2015.Todd Brown, the chief public defender who assisted Chris Tallarico in defending Rutter, spoke for about 90 minutes as he attempted to convince Ashworth that Rutter should be given the minimum sentence of 35 years for the most egregious charge of murder in the first degree.He brought up Rutter's age and the cognitive developments of a juvenile. He brought up Rutter's family life and upbringing, his mental health and how he was influenced by Moore.Brown painted Rutter as the follower who looked up to older cousin Moore, the “leader” and “manipulator” who committed the murder that night.Rutter was a shy and scared accomplice who did not have the strength to stop Moore and has shown genuine remorse, he said.Rutter, who read from a statement, apologized for his involvement in the crimes and accepted responsibility.Ashworth said he found his apologies to be "lacking in credibility.""Not once have I heard Mr. Rutter express remorse for the death of Ms. Mathewson," he said.Assistant District Attorney Christopher Larsen objected to the defens...
