Tarantino like testimony frames first days of murder trial
In Front Royal, more than 20 witnesses and over 40 exhibits appeared in the first 24 days of Clay Marshall Curtis murder trial. Curtis, 63, of Welch West Virginia, faces premeditated murder and related charges in the Dec 9 2014 killing of taxi driver Simon Funk 42. The opening statements contrasted the presentation with a Tarantino style nonlinear plot, while the defense claimed no premeditation and questioned witness choices. Turner, a jail inmate, is alleged to have heard a confession discussed in letters not recovered.
