Back then Warren County had a justice system that was corrupt in many ways.
I believe with new juctice players on board it has become more civilized, I hope.
Then again if it has, why is Widmer not being allowed a chance against what I will call bad human nature in control of a system. Point being, over time it has been rehashed that there is NO PROOF BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT!
A) Of a murder to begin with which I thought was crucial to guilt.
B) Of guilt.
Such deaths have happened before for the reasons printed before in the newspapers.
Widmer behaved like a jerk in some ways...being a "jerk" is not being guilty of murder.

Enquirer archive video from 2013. Gary Widmer speaks about his son
Ryan Widmer, who is serving 15 years to life for his wife's murder in
2008.

The
federal appeal of Ryan Widmer’s murder conviction may not be closed,
but the chances the Warren County man receives another trial continue to
shrink.
In February, a federal district court ruled any further appeal would be frivolous. Widmer’s attorney filed 17 objections to United States Magistrate Judge Michael R. Merz’s recommendation.
Last
week, Merz ruled against Widmer again. The magistrate judge said
Widmer's objections lacked merit and, in a 48-page report, again said
any further appeal would be frivolous.
Widmer was
convicted of drowning his wife in the bathtub of their Hamilton Township
home in 2008. He was convicted in 2011 after three trials that garnered national attention.
His first trial was overturned due to juror misconduct and the second ended in a hung jury.
Michele
L. Berry, Widmer's attorney, argued in a petition the case involved an
egregious example of testimony involving "junk science." She also
argued, among other things, the bathtub Sarah Widmer died in was
illegally seized.
Widmer has maintained his innocence. In the Facebook group “Free Ryan Widmer,” dozens of people decried the latest news and complained about the justice system.
“Ohio,” one comment read, “where they have trial after trial until it’s a guilty verdict.”
Widmer,
now 36, is serving a 15-years-to-life sentence at the Correctional
Reception Center in Orient, Ohio. His first parole board hearing is
scheduled for July 2025.
Objections to the magistrate judge’s new report are due next week.
