Prosecution lays out case against man charged in Malibu Creek State Park murder

Opening statements began Friday in the trial of Anthony Rauda, the man accused of murdering a research scientist in Malibu Creek State Park in June 2018.

May 6, 2023
LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A five-year-old wound was reopened in criminal courts Friday for those who lost Tristan Beaudette, a beloved husband, scientist and father.
[.....]
Anthony Rauda, the man charged with murdering Beaudette, was not in court Friday for opening statements in his trial and he won't be through at least a portion of the trial. The 46-year-old waived that right.


Now I will correct my notes - I see opening statements only started yesterday. Too bad they do not mention the how many jurors/alternates there are...


editing my post - some more from the article:


Beaudette's wife was also in court Friday with a large support group as she had to relieve much of the trauma she has endured over the past five years.

Prosecutors showed several photos of her husband and their daughters

The defense will deliver its opening statements Monday, May 8.
 
Finding absolutely nothing on this case....

Malibu Creek State Park murder victim was found dead next to his daughters, brother-in-law says

Opening statements continue in the case against Anthony Rauda, a 46-year-old man suspected of killing Tristan Beaudette, a man who was camping with his family in 2018.

May 9, 2023
LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Opening statements continued Monday in the case against Anthony Rauda, a 46-year-old man suspected of killing a man camping with his family in 2018.

A trail of physical and digital evidence led investigators to arrest Rauda in October 2018, four months after 35-year-old Tristan Beaudette was shot dead while camping at Malibu Creek State Park.
[.....]
Rauda was a homeless man, his defense attorney said while previewing the case he's building to maintain his client's innocence. Rauda has pleaded not guilty to Beaudette's murder and the 15 other charges of attempted murder and burglary he faces.
[.....]
His attorney's overall argument: The evidence against Rauda is weak, keeping in mind the burden of proof falls on prosecutors.

Prosecutors questioned several witnesses, including the woman who called 911 from a nearby campsite. She heard five gunshots and spoke quietly to police as she wasn't sure where the rounds were coming from or whether she was in danger.

Beaudette's brother-in-law also took the stand on Monday.
[.....]
Rauda has so far not attended his own trial. He has waived his right to be present.
