Donoghue testified that the wounds he found were consistent and could have been delivered with the same weapon. He said the wounds were made by a long, slinder object similar to a shotgun barrel.
There was also a case in Georgia in which one man killed eight members of his entire family with an ax, he testified.
In his opening statement Tuesday, defense attorney Newell Hamilton Jr. told the jury that he knew of no instance in which one person had beaten even six people to death. Under Hamilton's cross examination Wednesday, Donoghue acknowdged the New Hope victims could have been killed with a piece of pipe, but said it was unlikely done with a piece of wood.
"I don't think it was a baseball bat because it was long and narrow,'' Donoghue testified.
The handle of a garden tool could have been used, he said.
''The barrel of a gun certainly fits the pattern here,'' but a pipe could have been used, Donoghue said.
"You can't exclude multiple similar objects,'' Hamilton said.
Donoghue said he could not.
5:35 p.m.
Glynn County police investigator Stephanie Oliver testified she was a patrol officer on Aug. 29, 2009, and responded to the initial call to New Hope Mobile Home Park.
Oliver said she was the second to arrive and saw two people and a dog on the front porch of the mobile home.
"Mr. Heinze was saying, 'My whole family is dead inside,' '' Oliver testified.
A state trooper and officer Roderic Nohilly arrived and secured the mobile home.
She went inside the mobile home and found three people, one of whom was still alive, she testified.
She and other officers went inside to check the residence for any victims who needed assistance, Oliver said.
Oliver said she went into another bedroom and found two men, one dead in the floor, the other alive on a bed.
Using photos already in evidence, Oliver showed the jurors where victims were located, especially Michael Toler who was still alive lying on a bed without sheets "gasping for air." Oliver said she ran outside and got paramedics to attend to Michael Toler.
After putting crime scene tape up around the home, she left the scene, she said.
She said that defendent Guy Heinze Jr. appeared calm and was not crying.
Under cross examination from Newell Hamilton Jr., Oliver said she entered the mobile home with her gun drawn because the officers were about to clear a residence.
