Jurors hear from victims' wives, others

It has been an emotional afternoon in the courtroom, as jurors heard about the impact the shootings of Derrick McFarland and Cpl. Eric Sutphin have had on their families.
Some of the most powerful testimony came from Jeaneen Sutphin, Eric Sutphin's mother, who looked directly at Morva for a moment as she took the witness stand.
Jeaneen Sutphin said that Morva didn't have to kill her son. He could have shot him in the leg, she said, to keep Eric Sutphin from pursuing him.
The last witness called to the stand before a short break was Montgomery County Sheriff Tommy Whitt, who cried as he described having to tell Tamara Sutphin and Jeaneen Sutphin their husband and son had been killed.
