911 Call Begins Murder Trial

An Ohio prosecutor played a 911 logging tape and put the handling Hamilton County sheriff’s dispatcher on the witness stand during the first day of testimony in the murder trial of Ryan Widmer. The key to the call is that Widmer didn’t seem upset during the call, even though he had just found his wife dead of drowning in the bathtub. Dispatcher Ron Kronenberger told the jury, “Dealing with a situation like this, I’d be hysterical.” Read more about the trial and watch video of Kronenberger on the witness stand here.
