The trial of an East Liverpool man accused of stabbing a woman in 2022 continues Tuesday.

The trial of 52-year-old Joseph Boyer began Monday in Columbiana County Common Pleas Court on charges of attempted murder, felonious assault, and domestic violence.

Earlier this year an appeals court overturned Boyer's guilty plea and 8-to-12-year prison sentence.

Boyer was sentenced after pleading guilty to domestic violence and felonious assault after police say he stabbed a woman with kitchen knives on July 7, 2022.

The appeals judges ruled that Columbiana County Common Pleas Court Judge Scott Washam should have granted Boyer’s request to withdraw his guilty plea because Boyer was under the false impression that he could have been sentenced to an even longer prison term if convicted of attempted felony murder.

As it turned out, Boyer had not been told that the attempted felony murder charge he faced would have been dismissed anyway because there is no such charge in Ohio and can’t be prosecuted.
