The article discusses a hearing involving Zachary Shaffer, who is accused of murdering Scott Diclaudio during an armed robbery in 2013. This case has been delayed multiple times since the alleged crime occurred. During the recent hearing, which lasted over four hours on October 6, Shaffer did not enter a plea. During the proceedings, District Attorney Larry Krasner requested additional time to investigate potential evidence related to a second suspect and to determine if there are any new witnesses or evidence that could affect the case against Shaffer. The judge agreed to this request and also granted Shaffer's request for new legal representation after his public defender left. The hearing was adjourned until February 11, pending further review of the case by Krasner’s office. Scott Diclaudio was shot in the head while sitting on a bench at the corner of 19th Street and Oregon Avenue with his girlfriend. Shaffer allegedly approached them from behind, demanding their possessions and money. His attorney claimed that Shaffer was not armed during this incident. Shaffer has remained in custody since his arrest two weeks after the crime. In February 2017, a grand jury declined to indict him on murder charges but charged him with other offenses related to the robbery.
