TOLEDO, Ohio – The Lucas County Prosecutor’s Office is no longer objecting to efforts by four men to clear murder convictions from their records. Joseph Rickard and Louie Costilla were convicted by a jury of the Aug. 4, 1992, beating death of Vernon Huggins in Toledo’s Wilson Park. Mel Vasquez and Larry Vasquez took Alford pleas in the case, which is an agreement to be found guilty without admitting to the crime because there is enough evidence to convict.
