'Beachy Stout' sentencing hearing pushed back to September 26

By Racquel Porter    
 
The sentencing hearing for Portland businessman Everton "Beachy Stout" McDonald, who was convicted for the contract killing of his wife Tonia, has again been postponed.
 
The matter is now set for September 26.
 
McDonald and his co-convict, Oscar Barnes, appeared before the Home Circuit Court on Thursday morning.
 
The matter was adjourned after the court was told that the presiding judge, Justice Chester Stamp, was unavailable.
 
A seven-member jury on March 6 found McDonald and Barnes guilty of murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
 
Prosecutors had reported that Tonia McDonald was killed on July 20, 2020, along the Sherwood Forest main road in Portland, after her husband took out a contract on her life.
