Jurors hear from widow, officers who captured Morva
Posted Mar07, 2008 at 02:27 PM
Tamara Sutphin, Cpl. Eric Sutphin's widow, was first on the witness stand after lunch today.
She cried as prosecutors played a tape of her husband's last radio transmissions, in which he can be heard saying the suspect was running from him.
A man who at the time lived just off the Huckleberry Trail testified that he heard two quick gunshots and found Sutphin's body. He said he called 911 and ran to Sutphin, but saw that the officer had been shot in the back of the head.
Officers who tried to aid Sutphin also testified, and jurors heard from several officers who found Morva later the afternoon of Aug. 21, 2006, in thick, 6-feet-tall brush off the Huckleberry Trail.
