Judith Hawkey to get a new trial

An Oakwood woman convicted in 2003 for causing her stepson to kill his father will get a new trial. An appeals court ruled yesterday that there were four errors in Judith Hawkey’s trial. She was sentenced to life without parole for abusing her 10-year-old stepson and causing him to shoot his father. The Defiance County Prosecutor promises to appeal the ruling for a new trial to the Ohio Supreme Court.
