Francis Colegrove, one of the attempted murder victims finished his testimony today. He was followed by Ethel Reed, the fiancee of the second attempted murder victim and the last prosecution witness to testify was HCSO's Detective Todd Fulton, who is also the lead investigator in the case.
The one small defense win today was when Rodney Ortiz's attorney got Francis Colegrove to admit he did have a beer before court today, minutes after he denied that on direct questioning by DDA Jackie Pizzo. Francis Colegrove had said on direct earlier that he was nervous about testifying and needed a break, due to the emotion, and Judge Marilyn Miles granted him that request. The deceased victim is his father. Both Francis Colegrove and Ethel Reed teared up while testifying.
Full update later today...
