Marcie Steger turned away from the projection screen as several autopsy photos of her daughter were presented in court Wednesday morning, the fifth day of testimony in the murder trial of her son-in-law, Jeffery Trevino.
The Ramsey County medical examiner, Dr. Michael McGee, testified that Stegers daughter Kira was killed by homicidal violence and that she could have been smothered by someones hand or a pillow.
Trevino, 39, faces two counts of second-degree murder in Ramsey County District Court for allegedly killing Kira Steger, 30. She was last seen alive on Feb. 21, and her body was recovered on May 8 from the Mississippi River.
