A forensic expert testified this morning that no gun had been matched to the bullets found at the scene of the Valentine’s Day murders.
On the witness stand in the murder trial of Twanna Blair, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation forensic agent Terry Arney discussed bullets retrieved from the scene of the triple-murder that occured on Feb. 14, 1999.
O.J. Blair, a cousin of Ms. Blair, Cacyi Higgins and Dawn Rogers were found dead, shot tiffany and co execution-style with hands tied behind their backs.
Lead prosecutor Richard Fisher continued walking the jury through details in his case against Ms. Blair, who faces charges that she was involved in the murders of her roommates by hiding details of the events.
The prosecution has yet to link a clear motive as to why Ms. Blair would hide specifics of the night the three victims were killed and she was shot in the back.
Defense attorney Lee Davis opened the trial Tuesday by explaining the close relationship Ms. Blair had with the victims and her own suffering as a victim in the event.
Both sides said the trial could last through the week, the prosecution may finish with its witnesses pendants today.
On Aug. 24, Maurice Johnson was found guilty on three counts of first-degree murder and one count of especially aggravated robbery in connection with the murders. He was sentenced to life without parole, but plans to appeal his conviction.
A third defendant, Michael Younger, also is charged in the incident.
