Cullen Davis murder trial enters sixth week in Amarillo
The Cullen Davis murder trial proceeds into week six in Amarillo as prosecutors press a conspiracy defense and the state builds its case over the 1976 mansion shootings. Davis, a Fort Worth industrialist, faces life in prison for the slaying of his 12 year old stepdaughter Andrea and wounding his wife, Priscilla, plus killing her lover Stan Farr. Various witnesses have testified including Priscilla Davis and Gus Gavrel who identified Davis as the shooter. The defense claims a narcotics tied conspiracy among survivors, while the state calls this a contrived defense. The trial, moved from Fort Worth after a mis trial, began June 27 with jury selection lasting eight weeks.
