Armed robbery suspect testifies in Grundy County trial
Randell Davis an 18 year old testified in his own defense in the Grundy County Circuit Court armed robbery case. He described a night including a Pizza Hut plan that was thwarted by fear and details of meeting Willis Slack and Tim Brown. Davis recounted party nights, drug use, and a gun arrangement but claimed limited memory of key events and identified no definite involvement. The defense sought a directed verdict citing lack of corroboration while prosecutors argued there was direct testimony linking Willis and Witherington to the robbery.
