A man found guilty of murdering city of Troy’s director of operations has had his conviction upheld.
Joseph Vandenburg was given a 25-years to life sentence for stabbing Bill Chamberlain to death in 2015. During the appeal, Vandenburg’s legal team argued no witness testified that they saw him possess a knife or stab the victim, County Court erred in finding him fit to proceed to trial and the Court’s admission of the DNA reports and related testimony violated his right to confront witnesses.
