Sean Schellenger's Family Cannot Testify At Sentencing For Michael White: Judge

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The parents of a man killed during a confrontation in Rittenhouse Square will not be allowed to testify at the sentencing for the man who killed him. Sean Schellenger was stabbed to death by Michael White during a fight last year.

White was only convicted of tampering with evidence for throwing the knife.

White is scheduled to be sentenced next month.
