Lorain murder case in jury’s hands after closing arguments
Manuel Nieves faces aggravated murder charges in the Aug. 14 2004 killing of Samuel Walls during a home invasion. Prosecutor Tony Cillo urged the jury to view a jailhouse rap as a confession while defense attorney Dan Wightman argued the song is merely a tune. Witnesses described a robbery gone deadly as Walls was shot. DNA on a glove linked Nieves to the crime, but defense contends police and witness credibility undermine the case.
