Danelo Cavalcante's escape from Chester County jail costs him his right to appeal life sentence

In August, Danelo Cavalcante pleaded guilty to escape and was sentenced to serve 15 to 30 years, in addition to his life sentence without parole.

Thursday, October 17, 2024 2:42AMWEST CHESTER, Pennsylvania --, has lost his right to appeal his original life sentence, a state court ruled Wednesday.

While he was a fugitive, his attorneys filed a motion challenging the evidence and certain aspects of his sentence in the murder case. Had it been valid, the motion would have extended the appeal deadline. Instead, the original deadline remained intact - and Cavalcante's subsequent appeal came eight days too late, the court ruled.

While on the run, he stole a truck from a dairy farm after finding the keys inside, and survived by stealing food, clothing, and other items from people's homes.
