Jury to decide fate of two charged with killing teens
The aggravated murder case against two men accused of killing two teenaged boys in late 2022 after others lured them to a South Toledo house to confront one boy about a stolen gun was handed to a trial jury Tuesday evening. Defense lawyers’ and prosecutors summations concluded a trial day during which two defense witnesses testified, two others declined on self-incrimination grounds, and a Lucas County Common Pleas judge excluded a fifth that the defense tried to add to the witness list at the last minute. The potential witnesses against Charles Walker, 34, and Brent Kohlhofer, 42, who cited their Fifth Amendment rights were Carrissa Eames and Don Eames, Jr., separately indicted codefendants against whom charges remain pending. In their closing arguments, defense lawyers for both Walker and Corbin Gingrich repeated their introductory assertions that the allegations against their clients were made up by the Eamses and codefendants Gingrich and Cruz Garcia, who accepted plea bargains and turned state’s evidence, to hide their own direct roles in the boys’ deaths.

School board to decide fate of Woodmore Middle School principal
WOODVILLE, Ohio — Supporters of embattled Woodmore Middle School principal Kevin Ball are planning to turn out at Thursday’s school board meeting to urge the board to renew the principal’s contract. Thursday’s monthly board meeting starts at 6 p.m. and has been moved from the high school media center to the gym shared by the elementary and middle schools in anticipation of a larger audience. The meeting’s agenda includes an item from the superintendent recommending that Mr. Ball’s contract not be renewed. Mr. Ball was told in April that his contract, which expires July 31, was not going to be renewed. While officials have not publicly discussed the reason, a review of the principal’s personnel file revealed a recurring pattern of concerns about discipline, or the lack thereof, in the middle school. It culminated in February, when a student was expelled for multiple instances of racial bullying.

To the editor: Secor roundabout bad idea
I’ve seen questionable roadway projects before, but the proposed roundabout, or as I call it, “roundingdoubt,” at Secor Road and Kenwood Boulevard, is one of the dumbest. It is touted to improve safety at the intersection, but anyone I’ve spoken with says these traffic circles are very confusing and actually invited chance accidents, not deter them. In addition, roundabouts are not attractive and require taking a portion of resident properties. They look like a fried egg as shown in an overhead photo. Instead of using the estimated $5 million to construct one of these monstrosities, how about using the money to improve the driving conditions of our existing roadways? JAMES SHALER West Toledo
