“I can tell you that his deliberation to take the Commonwealth up on its offer has been a hard one for him. It’s his oldest brother and of course the ties of brotherhood are very strong.” – Justin McShane
The brother of an accused murderer has agreed to a lesser sentence, but now must testify against his own brother.
Scott Wholaver pled guilty to three counts of third-degree murder. He now faces between 12-and a-half to 25 years in prison.
On Christmas Eve, Scott allegedly drove his brother Ernest to Middletown, where police say Ernest killed his estranged wife and two daughters.
Scott Wholaver’s Attorney Justin McShane: “I can tell you that his deliberation to take the Commonwealth up on its offer has been a hard one for him. It’s his oldest brother and of course the ties of brotherhood are very strong.”
Ernest Wholaver is scheduled to appear in court in September.

- JH – Acquitted of DUI Highest Rate
Attorney Dorward had my cases of DUI completely dismissed and saved my CDL license.
- JR- CDL DUI Dismissed
Unfortunately, this wasn’t my first time facing DUI charges. I already had a prior conviction and this time I was involved in an accident on my way home from a friend’s party.
Justin McShane is really an excellent attorney. He worked hard for my cause and I can’t express how much I appreciate his hard work and dedication. He got my DUI charges dropped and worked hard to minimize my other charges as well. He always returned my phone calls, which in my experience, is very rare for attorney running a practice as busy as his.
