Murder Trial Here Delays Over Evidence Handling
Bruce Wayne Johnson faces a second day of testimony in a Madison Circuit Court first degree murder trial. The 22 year old city youth is accused of killing Pinkerton guard James Jobes at the Michigan Warehouse last July 29. Jurors, the first to be kept under trial for Madison County, heard testimony on custody of evidence including a shoe found from the victim and a time clock used by guards. Coroner Dr. Hess and pathologist Dr. Whitaker described the autopsy with multiple wounds, the bullet injury to the heart, and time of death estimated eight to twelve hours before the 10 a.m. autopsy. The defense and state wrangled over admissibility of evidence while witnesses detailed the scene and the officer’s finding of Jobes’ body under debris in the warehouse. The trial resumed after jury selection began May 11 and concluded last week.
