Jury asks to hear calls for help during deliberation in double murder trial

ETNA, Pa. — An hour and a half into deliberations, jurors had a question about two key pieces of evidence in the trial of a man accused of an April 2016 double murder.

Joshua Huber is claiming he shot Melissa Zuk and her boyfriend, Derek Schindler, in self-defense.

Jurors wanted to hear the 911 calls made by Donald Cox, the neighbor who heard the gunshots last April, called 911, confronted the suspect, and held him at gunpoint until police arrived.

TRENDING NOW:

Huber also placed a 911 call, telling the operator his version of events.

In the call, he tells the dispatcher the woman attacked him.

That’s when police say Huber shot the couple, he claims in self-defense. Prosecutors say the argument started over $40 that was missing.

The jury will pick up deliberations Tuesday.
