Murder, robbery, mutilation and sexual penetration of human remains

Crime of murder, murder committed while commission of robbery, mutilation of grave remains and special allegation of sexual penetration of human remains are the alleged charges the District Attorney's office filed against Eddie Lee, whose jury trial started today.

Eddie Lee dressed in a crisp white shirt, navy blue sweater and slacks with glasses and shaved head instead of his wavy locks looked more like a college student than a man accused of murdering William Reid. Limmie Curry is the other defendant whose case will be tried separately.

Lee sat politely next to his attorney Darryl Stallworth. District Attorney Paul Gallegos is prosecuting the case in Judge John Feeney's courtroom.

Two family members of the victim were present. One sat in the courtroom, the other stayed outside, only talking with Mr. Gallegos during court breaks.
