SUNBURY— A man convicted in the death of a child has lost his first appeal of the verdict. President Judge Charles Saylor has denied Victor Hare’s post conviction appeal in Northumberland County Court, Tuesday.
Hare was convicted by a jury in April for the killing of 9-year-old Korbin Rager, after giving the boy a fatal dose of oxycodone. 61-year-old Hare is serving a combined sentence of 30 to 60 years in a state correctional facility.
Hare filed a motion in may saying that there were several errors in the trial that led to his conviction. Hare has thirty days to appeal this order.
