LISBON, Ohio - Sentencing is scheduled for Monday for a Columbiana County man who pleaded guilty to murdering a Homeworth man last year.
In addition to pleading guilty to one count of murder with a firearms specification, 43-year-old Gary Joiner also pleaded guilty on Monday to having a weapon under a disability.
