Ohio court overturns death sentence in bartender's death

FILE – This undated file photo provided by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction shows Joseph Thomas of Perry Township in Lake County, Ohio. Thomas is accused of raping and fatally stabbing Annie McSween, a bartender in Mentor-on-the-Lake, Ohio, whose body was found Nov. 26, 2010. A divided Ohio Supreme Court overturned Thomas’ conviction and death sentence Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2017, ruling his knife collection should not have been introduced into evidence at trial because the weapons weren’t used in McSween’s slaying.
