Even before they started picking a jury today, the Commonwealth's Attorney
advanced a piece of evidence that he says "only the killer would know."
(----------------)
VO-NAT
One of several pre-trial motions was about a statement attributed to
Bramblett in a newspaper interview right after he was arrested in South
Carolina last year.
Though he'd just been arraigned on eight charges involving the arson and
murder of the Hodges family in Vinton, Bramblett told the reporter he wasn't
convinced they were dead.
"I knew something happened to Teresa," he said, because a relative told him
gasoline had been sprinkled around her body."
Commonwealth's Attorney Skip Burkart says HE didn't know that. He says it
took the state crime lab to determine that there was gasoline on and around
Teresa Hodges' body and ONLY hers.
