The Lateisha Green Murder Trial: Wednesday Blog Post

http://www.transgenderlegal.org/headline_show.php?id=131

This is legal intern Laura Vogel reporting on the third day of the Lateisha Green murder trial.  Testimony intensified significantly today.  We heard from the detective who interviewed Dwight DeLee while he was in police custody, as well as several key eye witnesses to the events of November 14, 2008 which resulted in Lateisha "Teish" Green's death.  This testimony has clarified the order of the evening's events, the atmosphere of the scene of the crime before and after those events, as well as the statements made preceding the shooting.  There was a lot of testimony regarding anti-lgbt slurs used immediately prior to the shooting.  As you read this report of the day's testimony, please keep in mind that anti-gay remarks were spoken in court, that much of the testimony was highly charged and emtional, and that you may find the events described upsetting.
