Closing arguments are scheduled for Monday in the trial of a woman accused of killing her 79-year-old mother in their Serra Mesa home, then dumping her body on the Barona Indian Reservation...
In his opening statement of trial, Deputy District Attorney Paul Greenwood told jurors the defendant and her mother argued constantly over the younger woman's "druggie" friends, a dog and the cleanliness of the older woman's Serra Mesa home...
The defendant told police she went to work on Sept. 25, 2013, but her Viejas Casino club card was used twice at the casino after 4 a.m. that morning, Greenwood said. That same day, the defendant used a laptop computer to search "homicide" and "blood spatter," according to the prosecutor.
