Matthew Shumway of Chester County said data recovered from Jahn\u2019s truck allowed investigators to identify him driving down the dimly lit residential street that night. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Approaching Nieberle\u2019s vehicle, Jahn slowed his truck to six miles-per-hour, Shumway testified. He fired once through her driver\u2019s side window, the detective said, a shot captured on a neighbor\u2019s doorbell camera. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Played in court, the short video showed Jahn\u2019s headlights cut through the darkness and approach another vehicle. Within seconds, a loud bang rang out. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Jahn\u2019s attorney, Brian McCarthy, did not contest many of prosecutors\u2019 assertions about how events unfolded that night, but argued that first-degree murder was not appropriate because Jahn had not shown premeditation and intent to kill, conditions required to meet the threshold for that crime. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWhat we did see does not establish murder in the first-degree,\u201d McCarthy said of the dashcam footage. The person in that video, he said, was a \u201ctroubled man looking back and forth, not a cold-blooded killer.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Wright, the prosecutor, countered that Jahn\u2019s actions were premeditated. She said Jahn had rolled down his window, aimed his weapon, and would have \u201chad to have known\u201d that there was someone inside an oncoming vehicle. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Of Nieberle, Wright said, Jahn \u201csnuffed her life out and left her there to die.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>District Judge Patricia A. Zaffarano ruled that prosecutors had presented sufficient evidence for the case to proceed to trial on all charges. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Jahn will be formally arraigned on June 2. He remains in custody in the Chester County Correctional Facility after being denied bail in March. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=1375\">The Philly region is under a flood watch, and storms may disrupt World Cup games<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prosecutors played footage of Steve Jahn, 44, driving through the suburban township with a gun in hand hours before the March 7 incident. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1380,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1381","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
