Sex Angle Enters Murder Trial in Reed Case
Jurors hear prosecution and defense versions on whether sex acts influenced the death of Clarksville businessman Seth L. Reed. Harald Houchins, 23, University of Arkansas medical student, faces first degree murder charges after Reed’s body was found in a Little Rock hotel last November. Prosecutor Dunaway planned to introduce statements allegedly admitting homosexual relations, robbery, and a fatal blow. A deputy coroner testified Reed died of a severe brain injury. The all male jury listened as defense attorney Jack Noll argued Reed was a sex pervert and that evidence would prove innocence. Cross-examinations touched on Reed’s appearance, and photos found in his hotel room. The defendant appeared pale, accompanied by his parents, as the case moves toward deliberations on potential death penalty considerations.
