A 70-year-old woman will soon be sentenced to prison after being found guilty of murder. A jury found Renee DiPietro guilty of third-degree murder Thursday for stabbing Michael Thomas Sides with a 16-inch blade hidden in a cane, according to Fox 29 News. It took the jury five hours to return the verdict, per the report.

Montgomery County prosecutors argued that DiPietro inserted herself into a fight between Sides and her son at the Main Line bar called John Henry’s Pub of Ardmore, per the report. DiPietro claimed she acted in self-defense, police said. DiPietro and her relatives fled the scene after the stabbing.

"It was wrong," DiPietro said, in the article after her verdict. "If it was their child…if it was their child, what would they do?"

So a 40+ year old dude needed his mom to step in? Maybe he needs to drink from home...

The amount of bad life decisions it takes to be a 70yr old woman at a bar inserting yourself into a fight involving your adult son to the point you kill someone is staggering.

Purely for research purposes, I wonder where would one might procure a walking cane with a hidden 16” blade?

Maybe she figured her son would get in trouble so she decided to do the dirty work since she is 70 and all?

Victim looks like the grubbiest, overweight, neck beard, hasn't showered in months, white guy with red hair yet also has cornrows. This is weird overall.

Or not take his mommy out with him. Something sort of unsettling about that whole thing.
