The Lateisha Green Murder Trial: Tuesday Blog Post
http://www.transgenderlegal.org/headline_show.php?id=130 (http://www.transgenderlegal.org/headline_show.php?id=130)
Once again, this is legal intern, Laura Vogel, blogging from Syracuse regarding the Lateisha "Teish" Green murder trial. Today was the second day of the trial, which began with Mark Cannon, Teish's brother, on the stand for the remainder of his cross-examination by the defense. Cassandra "Cassie" Williams testified regarding the bias of the shooter, stating that the shooter (whom she was not asked to identify) went into the house almost immediately after hearing a friend call Mark, Teish, and Star "->-bleeped-<-gots." Police officers, detectives, crime scene technicians, forensic scientists, paramedics, and doctors testified about the injuries sustained by Mark and Teish, and about the physical evidence, including the rifle and Mark's green t-shirt.
Brother and sister Johnny and Jasmine Gaston both testified about their involvement with the accused shooter, Dwight DeLee. Johnny contradicted his statement to the police, asserting that DeLee did not talk about accidently shooting into the car where Mark and Teish sat. Jasmine contradicted her statement to the police by saying that DeLee (her boyfriend of 3 years) did not call her while at work to say that he was sorry for what had happened, and that he hoped no one was seriously injured. Both of the Gaston siblings were more willing to answer the defense counsel's questions than the ADA's, and both said that they only signed their statements to the police because they were scared and wanted to go home.
