State completes rebuttal in Mayer murder trial
BLOOMFIELD AP The state finished its rebuttal testimony in the Walter M Mayer murder trial on Saturday, calling 20 rebuttal witnesses and six character witnesses to challenge defense claims. The witnesses said Wisdom paid several checks in March at Bloomfield, while Mayer contends self defense. Evidence also suggested Mayer faced financial strain that might have influenced the slaying on May 2 at Wisdom's Bloomfield farm. The defense cited threats from Wisdom, but the judge overruled objections about the relevance of the checks. The trial may not reach the jury until around next Tuesday.
