DC Mansion Murders Suspect's Former Cellmate Told Investigators Someone Else Was Involved
Sep 7, 2018
A former cellmate of the D.C. mansion murders suspect told investigators another person was involved in the brutal crime, according to court documents.
That inmate, listed as Witness 92, shared a cell with Daron Wint for eight days and wrote two letters to the U.S. attorney’s office, according to the documents. He told prosecutors another person was involved in the kidnapping, torture and murders of Savvas Savopoulos, 46; his wife, Amy, 47; their 10-year-old son, Philip, and housekeeper Veralicia Figueroa, 57.
Investigators looked into that person, even swabbing for DNA, but preliminary results showed there wasn’t a match to the crime scene, the documents said.
DC Mansion Murders Suspect's Cellmate Suggested 2nd Suspect
It’s not clear if Witness 92 or any other convicted felon will testify for the prosecution, but jurors were asked if they could believe a witness who is guilty of a crime and will get a reduced sentence for testifying.
By noon Friday, the jury was selected. There are 12 jurors and four alternates. Seven are women, nine are men. Nine are white, and seven are minorities.
