the full blade report is well-done, post 20703.
this is WTOL report, very poor. sophomoric.
TOLEDO, OH (Toledo News Now) - Opening statements began Wednesday in a high profile murder case.
Cameo Pettaway is accused of killing a Springfield Township couple in January 2011. On Wednesday morning, Pettaway faced a judge.
Pettaway is charged with two counts of aggravated murder, two counts of kidnapping and aggravated burglary.
Prosecutors said Pettaway went into the home where Johnny Clarke and Lisa Straub were living with at least one other man and killed the couple. They said there is DNA evidence to prove it.
The defense claimed there are still many questions surrounding the DNA and how it got there. They said it is not enough to prove Pettaway is responsible for the murders.
On Tuesday, the death penalty specification was dropped for Pettaway after Judge James Bates decided he did not meet the state's standards due to mental issues. By law, individuals who are mentally challenged cannot face the death penalty.
Pettaway still faces life in prison if convicted.
