GUILTY TN - Daniel Baker, Dickson County Deputy, Slain, 30 May 2018 *Arrests*

Her name was Brenda Guinn. She wasn't on the stand very long. Right before this last doctor. I guess the defense is trying to break the boredom by the order in which they're calling their witnesses.

Thank you. No testimony from landlord was tweeted. The reporter stepped away to do live shots. Appreciate you clarifying.

We are in a recess. A forensic neurologist is the current witness

I think the prosecutor is flustering this witness.

Agree and it sounds like the witness got annoyed a bit but has since tempered his answers.

 

[scmom]

Inconsistencies?

Inconsistencies?

Well, the forensic neurologist claims Wiggins suffers from brain damage which he was born with. And the trauma of his childhood created further damage. Prosecutor's job was to refute that evidence.
Judge announces recess for the day.

Eight more witnesses anticipated by the defense. Wow.

Right. Defense says their testimony will be brief, but they will take up most of the day.

G'nite.

The defense says they have 8 witnesses to call today. I just spoke to one who used to be a neighbor of Steven Wiggins. I know they also plan to call Wiggins’ mom Juanita. We believe the defense will rest today

A former neighbor is now on the stand. She says “I could hear a lot of noise, arguments & fights. At that time I never saw any physical abuse, but later on I did .”

Neighbor says one time Scott Wiggins (Steven’s father) hit his wife over a bologna sandwich, “He grabbed her by the hair of the head, blacked her eye.”
@WKRN

 

[scmom]

Fourth witness was cousin Wendy Wagner. Now on the stand former neighbor Jennifer Bryant.
So far it sounds like Wiggins' father is on trial. IMO

Defense hopes jury will agree to lesser sentence than death penalty.
