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.
