LANCASTER – A Quarryville woman has been convicted of first-degree murder after a five-day bench trial before Lancaster County Judge Merrill Spahn. 30-year-old Danielle Bewley shot and killed Mitchell Bewley after luring him to a PNC Bank in Strasburg around 5:30 p.m. on Valentine’s Day 2021. Prosecutors presented evidence that the killing was premeditated while the defense argued the shooting was in self-defense. Sentencing of Bewley will occur at a later date.
