MADISON WOMAN CONVICTED OF CAPITAL MURDER FOR HIRING MAN TO KILL HER CHILD’S FATHER

PRESS RELEASE FROM THE MORGAN COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE

Jaclyn Skuce, age 43 of Madison, was convicted of Capital Murder by a Morgan County jury this morning. The case was prosecuted by Chief Assistant District Attorney Garrick Vickery and Assistant District Attorney Joe Lewis. The trial was presided over by Circuit Judge Jennifer Howell.

On July 24, 2020, officers with the Hartselle Police Department were dispatched to a home on Dawson Street in reference to a welfare check. Anthony Larry Sheppard did not appear in court for a scheduled custody hearing, and his attorney requested that officers check on him.

Upon arrival, officers found that Sheppard’s storm door was shattered and his main door was ajar. Officers located Sheppard deceased with multiple gunshot wounds. During the course of the investigation, led by Investigator Tania Burgess with the Hartselle Police Department, it was determined that Jaclyn Skuce hired Logan Delp to kill Sheppard in order to prevent him from gaining custody or further visitation with his child.

The jury deliberated for approximately a day and half before finding Skuce guilty of three counts of capital murder: pursuant to a contract for hire, because it stemmed from Sheppard’s status as a witness, and because the murder was committed by shooting inside an occupied dwelling.

Skuce was sentenced today to life imprisonment in the Alabama Department of Corrections without the possibility of parole.

Following the verdict, Chief Assistant District Attorney Garrick Vickery stated, “There are never any winners in a case like this. This jury was incredibly thorough and took their time to make sure they made the right decision, both for Mr. Sheppard and for the defendant. We are glad that they convicted her for the choice she made to take Mr. Sheppard away from his family.”

Four other defendants were charged with capital murder in connection with Sheppard’s death. Logan Delp was tried and convicted of capital murder in October 2025. One defendant has pled guilty, and two remain pending trial.

🤔 Well, would ya look at that… the scammers finally discovered Google and Alabama statutes 📚
They’re getting fancy with official-looking texts and legal talk… but it’s still the same old scam.

⚠️ Heads up, folks:
If you get a text saying you owe fines, missed jury duty, or need to ‘pay now’—that’s a scam 💰
Real agencies don’t demand payment by text, gift cards, or random links.

Around here, we know better 💡
