WASHINGTON, Pa. (AP) — A southwestern Pennsylvania jury will resume deliberations in the trial of a former Pittsburgh man accused of fatally shooting two Ohio college students in 1999.
Twenty-nine-year-old Terrell Yarbrough was sentenced to death in Ohio for the slayings of Franciscan University students Aaron Land, of Philadelphia, and Brian Muha, of Westerville, Ohio.
Prosecutors say Land and Muha were kidnapped from their Steubenville, Ohio, home and driven to the Pittsburgh suburb of Robinson Township, where they were shot. But the Ohio Supreme Court threw out Yarbrough's conviction saying he should have been tried in Pennsylvania.
That's why Yarbrough is being retried in Washington County where a jury deliberated Monday without reaching a verdict. They were to resume at 11 a.m. Tuesday.
