Morva trial about to start second week
Posted Mar10, 2008 at 08:35 AM
The third day of testimony in the capital murder case of William Morva is about to get under way in Washington County Circuit Court in Abingdon.
It is unclear to those in the galley who will be called to testify today, but there are several people who received subpoenas from the prosecution who have yet to be called. They include several Blacksburg police officers, Virginia State Police troopers and a medical examiner.
Court is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Circuit Judge Ray Grubbs told jurors Friday afternoon to expect to be here until 5:30 or 6 p.m. Court has been letting out early because defense attorneys are barely cross-examing most of the witnesses who have been called because testimony has been moving along faster than expected. Morva's defense attorneys have not spent much time cross-examining witnesses.
