Trumbull County Prosecutor Dennis Watkins is urging the Ohio Parole Board to keep Mark Badilo and Jeff McClure, both 42, in prison for at least 10 more years for killing Badilo’s brother, Tim Badilo, on Feb. 24, 1988.

All three men were from the area of DeForest Townline Road in Weathersfield Township just west of North Road, and the murder took place in the backyard of McClure’s house on Broadway Street.

Mark Badilo and McClure were both 19 at the time they killed Tim Badilo, 23, of DeForest Road. Both men have served 19 1/2 years of a 15-years-to-life prison term. They come up for a parole hearing next month.
