Judge to rule on new trial for Stuart in Sheffield Lake case
LeRoy F. Kelly will decide within a day or two on William Stuart's bid for a new trial. The 30 year old was convicted of second degree murder for the stabbing of Larry Rogers, the victim and husband of his estranged wife. Stuart's lawyers cite Cynthia Stuart 12 who changed her testimony about witnessing the event. Assistant prosecutor Joseph Grande argues the change does not alter the verdict since Stuart admitted stabbing in self defense. The girl told Smith she heard a commotion and did not see her father strike the victim.
