(Beaver County, PA) A juror from a trial that took place in 2021 in Beaver County came back in court this week for an evidentiary hearing which stemmed from an appeal. This hearing was requested from the defense of Sheldon Jeter, Jr., who is in prison for life for the 2020 murder of Tyric Pugh in Aliquippa, because of the behavior of the juror that testified in this hearing this week, but initially, the hearing was denied. Beaver County District Attorney Nate Bible predicted that until after December is when a final decision in this evidentiary hearing could be seen. Jeter was also named as a primary suspect in 2023 for the murder of Rachel DelTondo in addition to his prison sentence that he received for the murder of Pugh.
