Bloody clothing, bullet strikes and Upton's demeanor as "nervous, upset"

On Tuesday, June 3, Detective Ron Harpham finished testifying for the prosecution and Mr. Russo finished his cross.

Today, EPD's Sgt. Stephen Watson is testifying. His testimony was about that he assisted in collecting evidence, helped secure crime scene. He was both at the hospital and 1936 J Street and pointed out bullet strike to Officer Cosetti, the evidence tech on side of building where the garbage can was located.

When he was at the hospital, he was told by Officer Wilson who Steve Upton was and why he was there. He observed Rhett August lying on the stretcher in the hospital, he was the one who collected the bloody clothing. Sgt. Watson described Upton's demeanor as "nervous, upset and back and forth."

Mr. Russo's cross is mostly about timeline and time frames. Sgt. Watson's testimony was brief.
