💨 Abstract

The Associated Press reports that Cody Balmer, accused of attempting to burn down Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's residence, has requested a delay in his upcoming court appearance due to ongoing mental health treatment. Balmer, who is charged with attempted homicide, arson, and other offenses, reportedly started a fire that caused significant damage and forced the governor and his family to flee. Prosecutors are determining if there is sufficient evidence to take the case to trial.
