The sentencing of Portland businessman Everton ‘Beachy Stout’ McDonald over the contract murder of wife, Tonia, has again been postponed in the Home Circuit Court. 

The new sentence date for McDonald and his co-accused Oscar Barnes is now September 26.

The men were scheduled to be sentenced today Thursday, September 19, but the matter had to be rescheduled as the presiding judge,Justice Chester Stamp, was not available.  

The sentencing had previously been postponed on more than one occasion. 

A seven-member jury found McDonald and Barnes guilty of murder and conspiracy to commit murder on March 6, 2024. 

Prosecutors had reported that Tonia McDonald was killed on July 20, 2020, along the Sherwood Forrest main road in Portland after her husband took out a contract on her life.
