Summary
Instead, the outcome may hinge on whether jurors believe a woman who says she was 9 when she overheard Cahill confess to killing bartender Corey Wieneke weeks after the slaying.Cahill has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the death of Wieneke, 22, whose body was found in his West Liberty home in October 1992. One evening, she says she saw Cahill pacing around, lighting candles and making incriminating statements about killing Wieneke.The woman's mother is expected to testify that her daughter told her about the confession then.Cahill's lawyers are expected to attack their claims as tainted by animosity.
