A Delaware County jury on Friday decided not to link Emily Noble's husband, Matheau Moore, to her 2020 death and found him not guilty on all counts.
The disappearance of Emily Noble from her Westerville home in May, 2020 resulted in manhunts, community vigils and extensive police work.
When retired Greene County Judge Stephen A. Wolaver repeated 'not guilty' on each count, Moore clasped his hands on the back of his bowed head and visibly sobbed. After Wolaver released Moore of his bond, he told him that the jury had just decided that"justice for Emily is not injustice for you." Presiding over the case, Wolaver had some unconventional practices, including allowing the jury to ask questions on slips of paper after each witness.
Perhaps the most compelling defense witness was Heather Garmin, a board-certified forensic anthroplogist from Iowa, who testified that bones in the neck, just above the Adam's apple, can be very fragile.
