Mahoning County Common Pleas Judge Maureen Sweeney was scheduled to begin jury selection Monday in the trial of 53-year-old Robert Moore who was already found “not guilty” of aggravated murder in connection with the disappearance of Glenna Jean White.

Judge Sweeney declared a mistrial in June of last year when the jury hearing the case found Moore "not guilty" of aggravated murder, but could not reach a unanimous verdict on the less serious murder count.

YOUNGSTOWN — Opening statements in the Robert L. Moore murder trial laid bare facts the prosecution and defense would have preferred that the jury not hear as the trial is set to resume today.



*****
 
The trial in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court is expected to last into the middle of next week because of the amount of witnesses who will testify. The trial resumes this morning before Judge Maureen Sweeney.

In opening statements Tuesday, Pat Fening, assistant county prosecutor, told jurors that prosecutors will be presenting evidence regarding Moore having been previously convicted of killing a female in 1993.

Fening said prosecutors can use that information to try to establish a “behavioral fingerprint” to show that the 1993 killing is similar enough to the allegations in the disappearance and presumed murder of Glenna to “to suggest that the prior act and the current crime were committed by the same person.”

Just as the long-delayed trial for a cold murder case in Mahoning County began, it's experiencing even more hiccups.

Judge Maureen Sweeney granted a motion on Friday to declare the ongoing trial of Robert Moore a mistrial and reset the trial for a later date. We're told the reason for the delay is a family emergency with an attorney involved in the case.

At some point, according to witnesses, Glenna went to her boyfriend, wearing only a sheet, and said Moore had tried to rape her. Moore was infuriated at her accusation and told both Glenna and her boyfriend to leave his residence. He offered to give Glenna a ride back to her own house, and she got in the car with him.

And they sat back and let her get into a vehicle with the man she just accused of rape??
