The widow of state police Cpl. Bryon K. Dickson II, alleges in a lawsuit that the parents of convicted cop-killer 34 year old Eric Matthew Frein were aware of and fostered their son's disdain for law enforcement that led to his slaying of Dickson outside the Blooming Grove barracks three years ago.
Tiffany Dickson, of Dunmore, filed the survival and wrongful death action in Lackawanna County Court, seeking damages from Frein and his parents, Eugene M. and Deborah Frein.
The lawsuit contends Eugene and Deborah Frein psychologically manipulated their son "into developing a strong dislike for the police and acting on that dislike" in carrying out his Sept. 12, 2014, ambush attack at the barracks.
Frein was convicted of first-degree murder and other charges April 19 and later sentenced to death.
