LISBON — Jeno L. Wall testified Friday that he didn’t shoot Robert E. “Hubba” Herron and he’s no murderer.

“I did not kill that man. I did not kill him,” he said.

Wall, 35, Steubenville, took the stand in his own defense, giving jurors his version of events from Sept. 9, 2024 and Sept. 10, 2024.

He also garnered some attention again from Columbiana County Common Pleas Court Judge Megan Bickerton when he kept talking over county Assistant Prosecutor Tammie Riley Jones as she attempted to question him and also interrupted testimony by Wellsville Police Lt. Marsha Eisenhart.

“I don’t know how many times I have to go over this with you Mr. Wall,” Bickerton said.

Eisenhart was testifying while being questioned by Jones and had just talked about Wall denying he was ever on 10th Street or Lisbon Street in the area where the shooting took place and mentioned two witnesses who had already testified, including Brandon Kessler, who he denied knowing, when Wall spoke out, saying “I gotta go.”

That prompted the judge to send the jury on a break, much like she did during testimony Wednesday when Wall had an outburst. She told him not to interrupt witnesses and told him those 12 people on the jury are the ones who decide everything, not her, not the attorneys or anyone else.

Wall said he cares about his life and about his child who he may never see again.

“We’re never going to see my brother again,” Herron’s sister said from the audience.

Bickerton had her and her mother taken out, but let them back in later. She continued to lecture Wall about his behavior.

“If you care so much, act like a mature adult,” Bickerton said.

“My life is important to me,” he said, with Bickerton countering, “Everybody’s life is important.”

During his testimony, during the case for the defense, he said he was in Wellsville on Sept. 9, 2024 and said he had gone to KG’s house on Clark and did some marijuana and ice also known as methamphetamine, describing who was there and saying he was there for hours. He claimed he left at 10 p.m. and went walking past his friend’s house who he referred to as his sister and his girlfriend’s house, how he was near the train tracks and how his friend Tiffany Sattler showed up and it was going on 11 p.m. and he gave her his phone and she left for awhile and he walked down by the river. He said Joey Savin picked him up and they went down 18th Street.

He said he was wearing all black, same as what he was wearing when the police came to KG’s house on Sept. 10, 2024 and took him into custody.

He said the police came in asking where the gun was and saying “we know you did it” while he was saying “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” then they said “you killed him” and he said “I didn’t kill nobody.”

He said he never met James “Jimmy” Howell or Kessler, the two men who said they saw him hit and shoot Hubba.

“Did you shoot Mr. Herron,” his defense attorney Joe King asked.

“No sir,” he said.

He admitted he went to Rich Oil that night, but said at no time was he at the residence of where the shooting occurred and was not involved in the shooting.

While being questioned by Jones, he kept talking over her and giving a lot of detail about things she had not asked about. When asked about the communications with the victim on the day of the shooting, he admitted he talked to him but claimed Tiffany Sattler was doing the texting with his phone. He said he never texted him or that he was going to get him, saying that was Tiffany.

Jones asked multiple times about his movements, about how Tiffany arrived when he was near the football field, and wanted him to read from his statement to police where he talked about her hopping out of the truck but he had testified that she was walking. Then he said “I did not kill that man. I did not kill him.”

At one point, he looked toward his attorneys and said, “King, can’t you object or something.” Bickerton told him that Jones has a right to ask him questions. He refused to read from the statement, so Jones read it aloud to him.

Throughout the questioning, he kept throwing out statements that he didn’t do this, that he wasn’t lying.

Eisenhart spoke about the case and an interview she did with the defendant and about what she learned from the investigation into the murder.

“Did anything ever point to anyone other than this defendant,” Jones asked. “No,” Eisenhart said.
