WARREN - A local man was being held in Trumbull County Jail in lieu of $1 million after pleading not guilty Monday to murder and weapons charges. Common Pleas Judge Peter Kontos set a tentative trial date for March 23 for Beau Palmer, 25, 1806 Clermont Ave. N.E. Palmer was indicted last week charges of murder and improperly discharging a firearm into a habitation, both with gun specifications, as well as charges of having weapons while under disability and tampering with evidence, all felonies. Prosecutors said Palmer is accused in the July 17 murder of Clint Zimmerman, 28, at his Logan Avenue N.E. home. Zimmerman was shot once in the chest, and his death originally was ruled a suicide by Trumbull County forensic pathologist Dr. Humphrey Germaniuk. Germaniuk said as new information arose, the case was reopened and the death certificate was amended to reflect homicide as the manner of death.
