About this listen

 Welcome to episode 20 of Ohio 88 where I, your host, Heather Wright, will discuss one of the most notorious individuals from Defiance County, Ohio. For this episode, we will be discussing Judith Hawkey. Oakwood, Ohio resident Judith Hawkey was convicted of aggravated murder, insurance fraud, and four counts of endangering children, in her 2013 trial; where the judge sentenced her to life in prison without parole. But Ohio's Third District Court of Appeals ruled in 2016 that she should receive a new trial because her conviction had been largely based on the young boy's testimony. That young boy was the son of the man who was murdered in cold blood in 2003. That young boy was 10 at the time, and also the individual who pulled the trigger. _________________________________________________________________________________Support the show by joining Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/ohio88
