LISBON — Andrew Irwin was convicted of killing a Liverpool Township woman earlier this year, but his lawyer maintains another man committed the crime, and he wants a new trial for his client.
That other man was supposedly Gregory Todd of East Liverpool.
But Todd testified at a hearing today in strong, short answers in Columbiana County Common Pleas Court that he did not stab Emily Foreman to death.
Todd, of East Liverpool, said he knew Foreman and had been to her house once.
A polygraph made by the Ohio Bureau of Criminial Identification and Investigation indicated Todd was telling the truth.
When Irwin’s lawyer, George Kafantaris, asked why Lindzay Jason Beaver claimed that Todd had confessed to killing Foreman, Todd said, “You’ll have to ask him.”
