The New Jersey Appellate Court has ruled that a Monmouth County man who helped toss his friend’s body off a Jersey Shore bridge and into the Shark River must remain in prison.

Preston Taylor will continue his 18-year sentence in the 2016 murder of Sarah Stern.

Taylor will have a new hearing concerning a $10,000 fine. It is the amount that Taylor and convicted killer Liam McAtasney stole from Stern, according to authorities.
