Montgomery County Man Who Killed Father To Remain At Norristown State: Report

A Lower Providence man who strangled his father and killed him in 2002 has been ordered to remain in Norristown State Hospital for another year, according to a Times Herald report.

James Snook, 38, was just 25 at the time, the report states. He was determined to be legally insane and in need of treatment then, and he is still in need of treatment now, a judge ruled.

He remains a “clear and present danger to others,” Montgomery County President Judge William J. Furber Jr wrote, according to the Times Herald.
