Man entitled to new trial in 2002 killing | Indiana

Court: Man entitled to new trial in killing of woman, 94

Court: Man entitled to new trial in killing of woman, 94 April 15, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail ELKHART, Ind. (AP) A mentally disabled man convicted of killing a 94-year-old woman nearly 20 years ago is entitled to a new trial, the Indiana Court of Appeals has ruled. The court s unanimous opinion last week affirmed a 2020 ruling that vacated Andrew Royer s murder conviction in the death of Helen Sailor, and found that he did not receive a fair trial. Sailor was found strangled in her apartment at a high-rise near downtown Elkhart in 2002. The court found that the Elkhart police detective who interrogated Royer, now 45, disregarded his mental disability and fed him details of Sailor s murder during interrogation. The detective was removed from the Elkhart homicide unit prior to Royer’s 2005 trial, and this information constituted newly discovered evidence, the court said.
