Jury returns guilty verdict in woman's 2022 murder
After more than five hours of deliberation, a Lucas County Common Pleas Court jury found Antonio Hernandez, Jr., guilty of the 2022 murder of 18-year-old Keichell Cardell. Hernandez was found guilty of felonious assault and murder. However, the jury found him not guilty of the first and most serious count, murder with the intent to kill. The decision came late Friday night after a weeklong trial that culminated in a dramatic final day that began with Hernandez testifying as the sole witness in his own defense. In his testimony, he offered a differing version of events at a Washington Township home that led up to Ms. Cardell’s Dec. 18, 2022 death than the prosecution’s narrative. While he did not deny that he shot and killed Ms. Cardell, Hernandez claimed he did so in self-defense.
