BOWIE COUNTY, Texas (KTAL/KMSS) – We are breaking down the testimony and evidence presented this week in the capital murder trial of Taylor Parker taking place in Bowie County.
KTAL NBC 6 Digital Anchor Brittany Defran is sitting down Friday afternoon at 4 p.m. with Carolyn Roy, who has been in the courtroom since the trial began. Watch live in the player above or join the conversation on the KTAL NBC 6 Facebook page.
Prosecutors spent the first week of laying out the timeline leading up to the murder and establishing a motive: that Parker faked her pregnancy to keep her boyfriend from leaving her.
This week, they focused on presenting evidence to the jury that places Parker at the crime scene and proves she faked her pregnancy. On Thursday, jurors reviewed photos and video as former Bowie County Sheriff’s Office investigator Chad Ford walked them through the crime scene.
The state is expected to wrap up its case next week. After that, it will be up to Parker‘s attorneys to present their case in her defense. So far, jurors have heard from 50 witnesses and more than 200 pieces of evidence.
