Christopher Thomas case opens with photos of abuse
Trial begins for aunt in beatings that killed boy, hurt his 2-year-old sister
Perhaps in years to come, jurors will forget the horrific story they heard Monday during opening statements in the Christopher Thomas murder trial.
It is less likely they'll forget the pictures.
There were six of them, projected on a large screen left of the defendant, Crystal Keith, who slumped in her chair, her arms crossed on the defense table.
The first photograph was of 13-month-old Christopher shortly after his death on Nov. 11. His head inclines to the right, an angry red welt raised on his forehead. The second is of the back of his head, swollen from the beating police say Keith inflicted on the boy the day before.
Four were of Christopher's 2-year-old sister.
