Man Who Testified In Dad's Murder Trial At Age 12 Says, 'I Literally Stared Him Down The Whole Time'
In 1990, the testimony of then 12-year-old Collier (Boyle) Landry helped to convict his father, Dr. John Boyle, of murder. The victim was Collier’s mother, Noreen Boyle,44, who was killed in the family’s Mansfield, Ohio home.

Collier testified that on the night of his mother’s death, he was awakened between 3:00 and 3:15 AM, “Because I heard a scream coming from my sister.”
Collier went on to testify that a few minutes following the scream he heard a loud “thud,” then a second noise, “And by that time, I was petrified.” He said he didn’t get up to investigate, “Because I was extremely afraid of my father.”
