Court orders new trial in Ohio adoption murder case
An appeals court orders a new trial for Judith Hawkey after ruling that testimony from a child abuse pediatrician a clinical psychologist and a former teacher should not have been admitted. The case centers on the 2003 shooting of Robert Breininger in rural northwestern Ohio and the boy now adult who confessed years later that Hawkey urged him to kill his father to make the death look accidental. Hawkey is serving a life sentence for aggravated murder and insurance fraud.
