#ZacharyKoehn - Koehn says the last time he used meth was 1-2 weeks before Sterling's death. If that's true, that means he was sober the 9-13 days maggots were growing on Sterling. That testimony just hurt him even more.

#ZacharyKoehn - This is why he's charged with 1st degree murder: The person kills a child while committing child endangerment or while committing assault upon the child, and the death occurs under circumstances manifesting an extreme indifference to human life.
