A Superior Court jury of seven women and five men heard opening statements in the Kent County Courthouse Monday.
Deputy Attorney General Dennis Kelleher painted a picture of a defenseless Ms. Curd, 38, seated on her couch with her daughter, a friend and the friends two young daughters during a blackout in the Capitol Green home she shared with Mr. Scott.
He stabbed her in the head, chest, sides and back, Mr. Kelleher said. He continued to stab her while she fled.
