GlobalAwareness101 published Democrat Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris Vice President Contender Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro suspected to be behind cover-up of Ellen Greenberg's murder.
This is the first time I hear about this case. I put this video together for you while I was getting more details surrounding Ellen Greenberg's murder that was ruled a suicide to stop any further investigation and to close the case. Let's pray that her parents get justice for their daughter who was brutally murdered inside her home.
The large kitchen knife was left plunged in her heart after the Democratic Pennsylvannia officials in charge claim she stabbed herself 10 times in the back of her head and the back of her neck and 9 other times in the front of her body. Whoever murdered her made this very personal leaving the knife plunged in her heart. Not to mention, stabbing a person 20 times is overkill and again very personal.

Pennsylvania Supreme Court to hear arguments over 2011 death of Philadelphia teacher Ellen Greenberg

PHILADELPHIA - The Pennsylvania Supreme Court will hear arguments from the family of Ellen Greenberg, a Philadelphia educator who died in 2011 in a case her family argues was not a suicide as officially ruled.
Greenberg, a beloved teacher at Juniata Park Academy, was found dead in her Manayunk apartment in 2011 with more than 20 stab wounds. She was just 27 years old.
Greenberg's parents have fought for years to undo the official paperwork ruling Ellen's death a suicide. Lawyers for her parents have alleged the investigation was mishandled.
"We don't believe our daughter committed suicide," Ellen's father, Joshua Greenberg told Joe Holden last year.
Now a lengthy court battle will continue to the next round — Pennsylvania's highest court.
"The Pennsylvania Supreme Court only takes cases which it decides are significant enough from a social standpoint for it to consider," attorney Joe Podraza said Tuesday in an interview with WHP-TV, a CBS-affiliated station in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The case was pending for about six or seven months before the attorneys were notified it was taking the case.
Justices will hear arguments on whether executors and administrators of an estate have standing to challenge a finding on a death certificate that limits someone's ability to collect victim's compensation, receive restitution through a wrongful death suit or submit a criminal complaint.
Podraza worded it like this: "Whether coroners and medical examiners have absolute power, or can they be challenged when the evidence shows they are not only mistaken, but grossly mistaken."
A neuropathologist hired by the city of Philadelphia once testified Greenberg was likely not alive when at least one of the stab wounds was inflicted, something Podraza said means it was likely inflicted after she was dead.
The neuropathologist noted there was no evidence of hemorrhage in her spinal tissue, something that Podraza has argued warrants changing the cause of death on Greenberg's death certificate from suicide to homicide or "cannot be determined," warranting further investigation.
How authorities rule on someone's death has a major impact, Podraza said.
"Compensation as a victim of a crime, you are compensated if it's a homicide rather than a suicide. For every citizen in this commonwealth, this case could potentially have a bearing at some point in their life or the lives of their family members, that's how important it is," he added.
The Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office reviewed the case in 2019 and ruled the death a suicide, and in 2022, the office under then-Attorney General Josh Shapiro reaffirmed that ruling after again reviewing the case between December 2021 and January 2022.
More than 160,000 people signed a petition on Change.org asking for Greenberg's death certificate to be changed.
How the case has affected Greenberg's parents
The news that the case would be heard by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court was so elating that Podraza said he could hear Joshua and Sandra crying when he told them over the phone.
"The parents' lives have been turned upside down and frankly, they've been tortured over these 13 years in which the authorities have stonewalled them and done everything possible not to listen to what the parents are saying as to why their daughter did not commit suicide," Podraza said.
"It has worn both of them down," he added.
In a FaceTime call with CBS News Philadelphia on Tuesday, Joshua Greenberg said the family was very pleased.
"We couldn't be happier. If we're not going to use the word 'justice,' we're going to use the words 'undecided' or 'homicide' because that's what we believe this is — a homicide," he said. "Ellen was brutally murdered."
What's next
The case will now be put on a briefing schedule and attorneys will start filing documents and making their arguments to the court, Podraza said.
The process could take over a year to play out, he added.
"There are cases where issues arise which are strange, and they should not be pushed or brushed under the rug. And they should be looked at closely because everybody deserves justice under our system," Podraza said.
Aside from the Supreme Court's involvement, the investigation now sits with the Chester County DA's Office due to conflicts in Philadelphia and with the state attorney general.
Inside Edition published May 2, 2019: Was Teacher Murdered or Did She Take Her Life? It was January 2011 and Ellen Greenberg had just sent out save-the-date notices for her wedding when the unthinkable happened. Her fiance, Sam Goldberg, a television producer found 27-year-old Greenberg with 20 stab wounds, 10 to the back of the neck, one to help scalp, eight to her chest and a vicious slash across her abdomen. The knife was still lodged in her chest. But with no forced entry and no defensive wounds, Greenberg's death was ruled a suicide. It's a decision that still haunts her parents.

PHILADELPHIA - The 13-year-old case of Ellen Greenberg's death may be heading back to court as the parents of a young Philadelphia teacher continue to search for answers surrounding the loss of their beloved daughter.
At the age of 27, Ellen was found fatally stabbed 20 times inside her Manayunk apartment in January 2011, just days after sending out save the dates for her upcoming wedding.
On Thursday, her mom, Sandra, confirmed to FOX 29 that a former Philadelphia prosecutor was granted permission to testify as part of the family's ongoing fight against the city.
"We are pleased and so should every parent in America," Sandra said. "Ellen’s death is so obviously a murder. This case is riddled with delay tactics!"
Greenberg family lawsuit
The family filed a lawsuit against the medical examiner's office in 2021 in a push for investigators to reevaluate the case.
Officials initially ruled Ellen's death a suicide before changing it to homicide, then switching it back to suicide days later.
However, her parents contended that Ellen could not have stabbed herself that many times and pushed to have the case reopened.
"I want my daughter's name cleared, because there's no way that she could have done that to herself," Sandee told Good Day Philadelphia back in 2021.
They were granted a non-jury trial to try to get the cause of death changed to "undecided" or homicide.
On Tuesday, a court ruled that the former ADA Guy D'Andrea could be deposed on or before May 6.
Ellen's items moved
During that same Good Day Philadelphia interview, the Greenbergs and private investigator Tom Brennan said Ellen's fiancé's uncle removed items from the apartment after it was no longer a crime scene, including Ellen's two laptops and cell phone.
"Right then and there, that negates that chain of evidence," Brennan said. "That adversely impacts the chain of evidence on those devices so that anything that's discovered on those devices can be challenged in court."
Brennan claims the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office promised to provide a forensic analysis of Ellen's laptop, but they never provided the report. The Greenbergs believe the analysis was never done.
Meanwhile, the Attorney General's Office called allegations of new evidence "unfounded" and said they won't reopen the case until "legitimate new evidence is brought forward."
"Ellen’s death is nothing short of a tragedy, and our heart goes out to her family and friends. Her death is unimaginable and admittedly hard to accept, but all of the evidence thoroughly reviewed by our office and the findings of the medical examiner show this was a suicide. Allegations of new evidence have been unfounded. While it is heartbreaking to everyone that our investigation didn’t find the resolution her family wanted in this bizarre and perplexing case, there is nothing more for our office to do until and if legitimate new evidence is brought forward. At this time, no such information has been shared with our office not withstanding our request for interested parties to provide any relevant information."
Public support
The Greenbergs aren't the only ones who pushed for the case to be reopened. A Change.org petition called "Justice for Ellen Greenberg" gathered over 160,000 signatures and urged the case to be revisited, claiming "top forensic pathologists all agree the case is highly suspicious of murder."
Chester County takeover
More than 10 years after her death, the Chester County District Attorney's Office took over Ellen's case in August 2022.
