Supreme Court upholds murder conviction of Tipton woman

News

March 25th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – The Iowa Supreme Court has upheld the murder conviction of a Tipton woman in a cold case investigation.
Fifty-nine-year-old Annette Cahill was found guilty of second-degree murder in 2019 in the 1992 death of 22-year-old Corey Wieneke — who was found beaten to death with a bat in the bedroom of his home near West Liberty.

Cahill was one of several women Wieneke had a relationship with. She was arrested in 2018 after a woman came forward and said she heard Cahill make comments about the killing a few weeks after it happened. Cahill appealed, saying the 26-year delay in her prosecution violated her right to due process, and an inconclusive report on hair found in Wienke’s hand should have been revealed at trial.

The Iowa Supreme Court ruled there was ample evidence to convict Cahill despite the delay in prosecution, and says the report would not have changed the outcome.
