Three key differences in Shayna Hubers trials sex acts brought them closer together. Hubers’ lack of ability to orgasm with Poston was a major problem that led to her relationship with Poston to fall apart, she said on the stand. Prosecutors put Highland Heights Police Department Chief Bill Birkenhauer on the stand to refute Hubers’ orgasm defense. Hubers expressed dissatisfaction with her lack of orgasm, he said. Poston expressed no dissatisfaction, he said. Birkenhauer read a Jan. 5 text conversation between Hubers and Poston. “Thank you for your understanding, patience, and kindness with the orgasm thing,” Hubers said. “Again, thanks a lot.”

Comparing both of Shayna Hubers trials side-by-side shows how differently the case was tried by the attorneys involved. The result, however, was much of the same: guilty of the murder of her boyfriend Ryan Poston on Oct. 12, 2012 in his Highland Heights condominium. The court scheduled an additional sentencing hearing on Oct. 18. The jury went with the recommendation of the prosecution of the life sentence. This is the second time a jury has found Hubers guilty of the death of Ryan Poston. The first conviction was thrown out after it was found that a juror in that trial had a prior felony conviction. In Kentucky, felons are not permitted to sit on juries.
Sex as a defense Hubers said pressure to perform sex acts and her lack of ability to orgasm with Poston was a new approach for Hubers’ attorneys as part of their selfdefense claim. Hubers testified on the stand she agreed to other sex acts with

A Kentucky couple is suing the Newport Syndicate, charging that they and their 240 wedding guests were exposed to hepatitis A during an August reception at the banquet hall. Jeff and Kameron Slavey, their wedding guests and two other couples who hosted weddings at the Syndicate between July 25 and Aug. 11 filed a classaction lawsuit after an employee was diagnosed with hepatitis A. The lawsuit, filed in Campbell County Circuit Court, alleges that the Syndicate was negligent and breached the implied warranty that food would be safe for consumption. On Aug. 3, the Slaveys held a wedding reception at the Syndicate and about 240 people attended. The food bill for the couple was more than $13,000, according to the lawsuit. Nearly two weeks after the wedding, the Northern Kentucky Health Department called the couple, telling them they should notify their guests that each one had been exposed to hepatitis A, according to the lawsuit. They were advised to tell everyone they should be See LAWSUIT , Page 2A
