Jury Deliberations Start in Vickroy Aggravated Murder Case
In Logan, a Hocking County Common Pleas Court jury began deliberations at 11 a.m. in the aggravated murder trial of 18 year old Robert Joseph Vickroy, charged in the stabbing death of Leroy Lee Poling. The six men and six women jurors were instructed they could return one of five verdicts including aggravated murder with or without related charges, or voluntary manslaughter. Poling was found dead at a Railroad Street trailer on Sept. 4 after a confrontation involving Vickroy and Gary Lee Baker, who pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of murder and testified as a state witness. Baker claimed he stabbed Poling once after taking a butcher knife from Poling during the incident.
