State closes Potter case in Savannah murder trial
Candace Kelly, a 71 year old witness, stunned the courtroom by testifying she saw Mr. Potter kill Bourquin. The claim shifts the case against William J. and Swayne Potter as defense seeks to refute the testimony. Kelly said she recognized Potter during hunting visits and saw a bogey with two men, including the elder Potter, in the woods. She identified Bourquin’s killer as Potter and noted Fred Taylor fled the scene before being shot. Her husband Richard corroborated her story, saying he kept secret the details under her guidance.
