An Ohio appeals court magistrate has ruled the Hocking County prosecutor will not be allowed to make oral arguments in the appeal of a Logan man convicted of murdering his estranged wife.
A newly unsealed confession shows a Central Ohio woman told authorities her son accidentally strangled his estranged wife before his parents helped hide the body in a septic tank.
A Hocking County judge today denied a request by the man charged with strangling his daughter-in-law and leaving her body in a septic tank to remove the death penalty as a possible punishment if he is convicted.
