In February, a Palm Beach County jury found David Ebersole, 57, guilty of attempted first degree murder with a deadly weapon, burglary with assault or battery, and burglary while armed.

Jurors rejected the defendant’s claims that the crime scene was staged and the victim’s wounds were self-inflicted.

On Friday, Circuit Judge Sarah Willis denied a defense motion for a new trial before sentencing Ebersole.

Assistant State Attorneys Wendy Borrego and Catherine Martin from our Domestic Violence Elimination unit tried the case and obtained justice for the victim.
