Sorority Sister’s Remember Finding Emile Weaver’s Dead Newborn

 Sorority sisters took turns giving their testimonies on a former Muskingum University student and her newborn baby.

The trial for Emile Weaver of Clarington and the death of her newborn baby girl has been going on for the past three days. Muskingum County Prosecutor Michael Haddox and Assistant Prosecutor Ron Welch interviewed 25 witnesses with 16 of them being Muskingum University past, present students and employees. Among these witnesses was Madison Bates one of the girls that initially found the baby in the trash bag.

"I saw a babies foot and the bottom half of the baby," said Bates. "Elise [Zimmerman] looked that time, I didn’t look that time and she said she saw the whole baby she said something along the effects that it has hair and eyes and she kind of fell to the ground."

Another witness brought to the stands was Forensic Scientist at Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, Devonie Herdeman, who revealed the possible father of weaver’s baby, who was named Addison Grace Weaver.

"The purpose of this testing was to perform a paternity test," said Herdeman. "The evidence is 2,399,000,000 million times more characteristic of Logan E. Lucas being the biological father of Addison Grace Weaver than a random man."

Weaver is being charged with aggravated murder, gross abuse of a corpse, and two counts of tampering with evidence. Weaver entered two pleas; the first is not guilty by reason of insanity and the second is not guilty.The trial will continue Friday at 8:30 a.m. in the Muskingum County Common Pleas Court, by Judge Mark Fleegle.
