Defense Hopes Identification Flaw Shapes Hayes Trial
In Raleigh County Criminal Court Catherine Hayes faces shoplifting charges after being accused of stealing four paint cans from G C Murphy Co on December 22. Prosecutor Roy Cunningham says Murphy’s assistant manager saw her hide goods under her coat and pack four cans, while defense attorney Brown H. Payne argues the manager could not identify her. The state presented Darlington as witness and the judge allowed the evidence, with Hayes later arrested after merchandise allegedly found behind a courthouse basement door. Trial resumed later in the afternoon.
