Jury: Man Guilty of Murder in Route 60 Deaths

Pittsburgh (KDKA) An Allegheny County jury has found a local man guilty of third-degree murder for the deaths of his pregnant girlfriend and her unborn child.

Late this afternoon, jurors convicted Aaron Luster of two counts of third-degree murder for the deaths of Christine Karcher, 33, of Coraopolis and her unborn son last year.

Prosecutors say Luster and Karcher got into an argument and Luster either pushed or urged Karcher to jump from the car he was driving along Route 60 in Moon Township on January 28, 2003.

According to police, another vehicle then struck and killed Karcher, who was seven months
