Massello Testimony Shapes Virginia Murder Trial
Forensic pathologist Dr. William Massello testified that Hopewell was shot twice with entry and exit wounds shown in autopsy photos. He supported the government’s theory that Robert Davis leaned in a vehicle during the fatal shooting and described a second shotgun blast to the head. The testimony highlighted differing conclusions from prior examiners and included DNA and firearm analysis along with cross examinations of other witnesses and defendants, with a jury receptive to the grim details.
