Commonwealth Court rejected an appeal from a death row inmate at SCI-Greene who claimed Greene County court erred in upholding the district attorney’s denial of his private criminal complaint against various prison personnel regarding the sale of an allegedly defective television set.

Sheldon Hannibal, who was sentenced to death Oct. 25, 1994, in Philadelphia County for the Oct. 25, 1992, murder of Peter LaCourt after a dispute over whether a gold chain was genuine, purchased a RCA flat screen color television from the commissary at SCI-Greene in November 2011.

The television was defective and only worked for a few months. After he complained, a replacement television was provided in February 2013, but the replacement television also proved defective.
