Prosecution recreates scene in Blake Bakley murder case
In Los Angeles the prosecutor sat in a chair as crime reconstructionist Rod Englert demonstrated how Bonnie Lee Bakley was hit by two rapid bullets from a nearby gunman. The testimony aimed to show bullet paths and Bakley’s seating position during the shooting. In Charleston a psychologist linked the antidepressant Zoloft to a 12 year old’s murder of his grandparents and arson, arguing the boy lacked capacity to distinguish right from wrong at the time.
