The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments from the parents of Ellen Greenberg, a 27-year-old Philadelphia woman who died from 20 stab wounds in what was initially ruled a suicide by the medical examiner. The court will review whether the parents, as executors of her estate, have the legal standing to challenge the medical examiner's findings.
Last year, an appellate court panel denied the parents' request to reclassify Greenberg's death, citing lack of standing. However, the panel criticized the city, police, and the medical examiner's office for their handling of the investigation.
