The first and only witness heard from yesterday was Officer Watson. I believe he was the first witness last time as well, although I can't seem to locate my original notes from his testimony. He was the first officer to respond to the scene. He described how he was called because of some running water and because George hadn't shown up to work on Saturday. After there was no answer at the front door, George's landlady let him in through the back, where he found George's body in a bloody mess and saw duct tape around his legs and one of his hands. His testimony was brief, but the reason it's important is because Katehis maintained afterward that George's hands were free as they jostled over a knife. Officer Watson's testimony would suggest that his hands were bound as well, thus making Katehis's self defense claims dubious at best.
The trial will resume in Brooklyn State Supreme Court this morning at 10AM.
