Appeal Rejected For Man Who Shot At Lebo Police

The state Superior Court this week denied an appeal of a former Carnegie Mellon University history professor twice convicted of firing on two Mt. Lebanon police officers who were called to a domestic dispute at the man's home five years ago.

Edward Constant, 64, is serving a sentence of 14 1/2 to 29 years at the State Correctional Institution at Graterford after having been twice convicted of trying to kill the officers, Daniel Rieg and Jeffrey Kite, on May 26, 2002.
