Court will resume Wednesday morning.
Prosecutors say there’s DNA and other evidence that links Hyde to the murder, but the defense team says there’s nothing that proves Hyde killed Laster. Hyde says he’s innocent.
. Mizrahi said that Hyde was almost caught in the act of disposing of the body and that his distinctive car was spotted driving away by a witness.Defense attorney Ann Finnell told the jury that Hyde had nothing to do with Laster’s death and that common sense will lead them to that conclusion. She said that Laster, a high school dropout, was trying to find his way in 1994 and would sometimes wander off.
Other items were found at the scene in addition to red flannel shirt, including knives, a black plastic bag, blood-stained bed foam, orange gloves with Laster’s DNA and stickers typically used in the bottom of a tub.In cross-examination, the defense said this is not enough to connect Hyde to the murder and dismemberment of Laster’s body.
“Yes, not until years later did I learn that the fingerprint examiner used a dirty fingerprint brush to try and lift the fingerprints,” Finner said.
