Cancer-stricken mother fears dying before daughter's trial
Janet Pizzelli, the mother of murder victim Maryrose Fealey, fears she may die from cancer before her daughter's accused killer goes to trial. Fealey was stabbed 37 times in January 2024, and the trial has faced significant delays. The accused, David Shroitman, has not yet gone to trial due to ongoing debates about his psychological competence. A hearing originally set for January has been postponed to April, prolonging the family's wait for justice. Pizzelli's health has worsened since her daughter's death, complicating her fight against cancer. She and friends have formed "100 Voices for Maryrose" to keep the case in the public eye and push for a timely trial.
