Jury hears coroner on cause of cadet killing at trial
Fort Worth Texas jurors heard medical examiner Dr. Marc Krouse describe the fatal head injury as likely caused by the butt of a gun rather than the dumbbell weights brought to court. He left open the possibility another weight was used. The case involves former Naval Academy cadet Diane Zamora and David Graham accused of killing 16 year old Adrianne Jones after a dispute over her relationship with Graham.
