The Third District Court of Appeals in Lima recently denied Defiance County Prosecutor Morris Murray’s attempt to revisit the court’s ruling in the case of Judith Hawkey of Oakwood. Hawkey was convicted on multiple counts of aggravated murder, endangering children and insurance fraud by a Defiance County jury on Nov. 8, 2013 and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
