The prosecution team put their final witness on the stand today. It is my understanding that the defense will begin with their witness testimony on Monday next week. So far, the prosecutors have produced the following:
1. A to-do list found in his jacket pocket regarding all the things he needed to take care of once his wife was murdered. Such as, check on passport, paychecks, camping gear, etc. This makes me believe he planned to leave the country after the murder, and was prepared to camp out while on the lam.
2. Recordings of telephone calls from the jail to a family member in which he describes what he was planning to do with his dead wife's money. In one of the calls he refers to his murdered wife as a "*****".
3. Positive DNA match to Woody's toothbrush and the blood found in the back of the trailer he hauled her body in, as well as to bloodstains inside the home and on her sweater.
4. A video recording of the terrain and findings on the day he led police to where he dumped her body, where above sweater and her bra were found, along with a blue blanket.
5. A video recording from a bar in which he answers both Her cell phone and then His when a concerned friend called first her then him, to try to ascertain her whereabouts a few days after she was "missing". The video matches up to the telephone records provided by the phone company.
6. Paperwork concerning Woody's recent inheritance strewn across the living room floor.
That's all I can remember at this time.
His defense maintains that she brutally attacked him and he accidentally killed her in an act of self-defense. Their evidence of such to date is:
1. A small superficial scratch on his cheek,
2. A pile of feces in the room in which she was murdered, which forensic investigators visually identified as cat feces, but which the defense maintains "might" have been human feces and therefore lend credence to the self-defense claim since people will typically evacuate their bowels upon dying. Unfortunately, said feces has long since been cleaned up, and there is no way for forensic scientists to obtain it at this point to determine which species the feces belonged to.
It is my understanding that the defense will call witnesses to testify this coming week.
