Dussell Convicted of Murder in High School Slaying
Dennis Dussell, 20, was found guilty of murder in the October 5 bludgeoning death of 17 year old Jodi Auble, a Huron High School student. A three judge panel deliberated two hours and fourteen minutes before unanimously delivering the verdict shortly after 5 p.m. One aggravated murder count was dropped and the other reduced to simple murder. Dussell appeared blank as the verdict was read then was led away by deputies to county jail. His brother Tim, 25, of Toledo fainted and was treated at Good Samaritan Hospital. The defendant had been on tranquilizers throughout the trial. The victim’s father, Aaron Aubie, called the verdict anticlimactic and said he had lost interest months ago. The Chronicle-Telegram noted Aubie testified only via written statement. The story continues on page 4.
