Exton Trial Delayed Amid Family Tragedy | Toledo News

Matthew Exton’s high-profile attempted murder trial has been delayed until August 31st after a tragic family loss and scheduling chaos forced a pause — now set to last four days. Prosecutors face a massive logistical hurdle, needing to reschedule 57 witnesses and bring in a new staff attorney to handle the mountain of legal work. Exton, already notorious for courtroom antics like blowing kisses to cameras and demanding payment for photos, recently asked to attend his son’s adoption hearing in the same courthouse — a request the judge is willing to accommodate. Charged with first-degree attempted murder and three counts of felonious assault, Exton allegedly tried to shoot his ex-wife at a downtown Toledo restaurant on April 11th last year.
