COLUMBUS (Ken Hines) -- A teen accused of stabbing a jogger to death in a Blendon Township park is expected to plead guilty to charges stemming from the murder. Jordan Stewart has agreed to plead guilty to charges of murder and tampering with evidence in connection with the fatal stabbing of Jane Juergens in Ridgewood Park on October 21, 2013, according to the Franklin County Prosecutor's Office.
