A guilty verdict in the Justin Shuback murder trial in Lackawanna County. Shuback was found guilty of first-degree murder and burglary by a jury in Lackawanna County on Wednesday afternoon, following 10 hours of deliberation over 2 days, in the death of Old Forge businessman Robert Baron Sr. in 2017. Cries of "burn in hell” and "garbage” came from the courtroom gallery as the county sheriff’s deputies led Schuback away after the jury’s verdict was read. 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.
