JEFFERSON COUNTY, Pa. —

A few weeks ago Steven Rebert was found guilty of first and second-degree murder.

After a lengthy trial, Rebert was found guilty of the shooting deaths of Wayne and Vicky Shugar in April 2010.

Judge John H. Foradora sentenced Rebert to four consecutive life sentences without parole.

According to paperwork filed at the Jefferson County prothonotary, Rebert has filed post sentencing motions.

This is the first step in beginning the appeals process.

A court administrator said that the judge will look over the motions.  Foradora will determine whether or not the motions will be granted.

If they are granted, there would be an appeals hearing at the Jefferson County courthouse.

If the judge dismisses the motions they will then go to the Superior Court.
