LEBANON - Cincinnati news stations are reporting that a jury has found Ryan Widmer guilty of murdering his wife, Sarah.
This was Widmer's third murder trial. In the first trial, a conviction was overturned due to juror misconduct, and a second trial ended in a hung jury.
Widmer was charged in his wife's death after she was found in the bathtub of their Hamilton Township home in August 2008. Jurors had begun deliberations Monday.
The Warren County Prosecutor's Office released the following statement to the media:
Ryan K. Widmer of Hamilton Township was convicted of murder in the August 11, 2008, death of his 24-year-old wife. A Warren County jury deliberated for approximately 12 hours before reaching its verdict.
Judge Neal Bronson sentenced Widmer to serve 15 years to life in prison.
The Prosecutor's Office is pleased the trial over and that justice has been done for Sarah and her family. The jurors who have served on this case should be commended for their willingness to be a part of this process, and their diligence in reviewing the evidence.
Recognition should also go to the dedicated men and women who have been involved in the case from start to finish. The diligent efforts of the Hamilton Township Police and Fire Departments, the Sheriff's Office and Coroner, Dr. Russell Uptegrove, as well as the Prosecution team, have worked tirelessly to ensure that justice was done.
