A 52-year man old charged with murdering an elderly woman was in court today.
James Reid was carrying a photo album and birthday card when he went to
visit Annie Lester at her home in Christiansburg, last October.
But witnesses say Reid had been drinking and was also carting a bottle of
wine.
(----------------)
VO-NAT
SUPER=03-Christiansburg;
Prosecutors say sometime later Reid beat and repeatedly stabbed the elderly
woman he'd worked for as a handyman.
Today Reid entered an Alford plea in court in hopes of avoiding the death
penalty.
The plea acknowledges the state's evidence-- without admitting guilt.
The defense maintains Reid doesn't remember what happened that day because
of the alcohol.
His attorneys point to the fact Reid did not try to conceal his blood
covered clothes after the crime as an indication of his state of mind.
