Guilty verdict in Lackawanna County murder trial
A guilty verdict in the Justin Shuback murder trial in Lackawanna County.

It took more than six years for the police to find Robert Baron’s remains, discovered near Pagnotti Park in Old Forge last year. It took almost 14 months for prosecutors to bring Schuback to trial.
