Judge will hear murder suspect’s request for new representation

A Centre County judge has granted a hearing for a murder suspect to potentially obtain new representation.

Matthew Dreibelibs is accused of killing a man in Snow Shoe Borough in August.

Police said he confessed but recently he wrote the judge pleading for a new public defender because he believes she’s not helping him prove his innocence.

A hearing for this request is set for January 9th.
