Ronald Parker testified that on Aug. 29, 2009, he worked at AeroInstant, a facility adjacent to New Hope Mobile Home Park where Russell Toler Sr. and other family members had worked.
Parker said he was around Guy Heinze Jr. and that he had complained that his father was going to give money to victim Joseph West for a shrimp boat and money for a truck to someone else.
"He said,"He ain't never give me and my borther anything. I'm going to kill him. I'm going to kill 'em all,'' Parker testified.
Toler Jr. and Heinze got into a "little tussle'' at the factory over Toler Jr.'s car, but Toler Sr. arrived and calmed them down, Parker testified.
That happened three to five weeks before the deaths, he said.
When defense lawyer Newell Hamilton Jr. asked when he was interviewed by police, he testified he didn't keep up with the dates.
Parker repeated he observed the fight between Toler Jr. and Heinze.
Hamilton asked Parker if he would be surprised to learned that Heinze's last day of employment was about a year before the deaths.
"When he told me he was going to kill them, I was working on a tool box for the plant,'' said Parker, who no longer works there.
Heinze also said that victim Chrissy Toler was setting him up with a girl from Alabama and that if the girl didn't have sex with him that he would beat to death Chrissy and the Alabama girl.
"I told him you can't be doing that,'' Parker testified.
When he told Toler Sr., his reaction was "He's just talking,'' Parker said.
When his wife awoke him Aug. 29 and told him about the deaths, Parker testified "I said Lord have mercy."
Parker said his dates may be off, but he did not recant what he had observed.
Other witnesses have said Heinze was building houses about the time Parker claimed to have heard Heinze's threats and witnessed the fight.
Parker said he and others had been laid off when the slayings occurred.
When he heard about it, "I was quick to say he did that ... because he's clever enough to have did that."
Hamilton accused Parker of lying.
"You're coming into this courtroom and making this up,'' to get your 15 minutes of fame and be on that camera right there, Hamilton said pointing to TV cameras.
Parker then said he was a traveling preacher.
Judge Stephen Scarlett called a recess for lunch.
