Bertrand was shot in the stomach last

During his testimony he admited to
running from the crime scene and trying
to destroy or hide the murder weapon.



He said quote, "I was very scared. It

about these develoments?

RACHEL

The defense is really questioning
these inmates that have come forward.

Defense Attorney Jimmy Turk says
he thinks these people are just
latching on to Linkous, making up
stories hoping to get a lesser sentence
themselves.

Of course we'll see how this all
plays out in court.

A trial date will be set in
