WASHINGTON, Pa. (AP) — A former Pittsburgh man has been convicted again of killing two Ohio college students a decade ago.

A western Pennsylvania jury found 29-year-old Terrell Yarbrough guilty of first-degree murder Tuesday in the 1999 slayings of Franciscan University students Aaron Land of Philadelphia and Brian Muha of Westerville, Ohio.

Prosecutors say Land and Muha were kidnapped from Steubenville, Ohio, and driven to the Pittsburgh suburb of Robinson Township, where they were shot.

Yarbrough was initially convicted and sentenced to death in Ohio. But the Ohio Supreme Court in 2004 threw out convictions for him and co-defendant Nathan Herring, saying they should have been tried in Pennsylvania.

They're serving time in Ohio on other convictions in the case, including kidnapping, burglary and robbery.
