Murder Trial Continues

{Charleston, West Virginia}...Prosecutors in the case against James Daughtery called several teenagers to the witness stand Wednesday. Sarah Burgess, Lacy Fowler and Sierra Holstein testified that a lot of drinking was going on at the Kanawha City home of Mark Artez Johnson, or "Ace," the night of February 9, 2010, and they saw Daughtery, who was 14 at the time, with a silver revolver and red bandana in his pants, and they saw him go out the front door and return around daybreak. The bodies of Bruce Duling and Carrie Pontier were found in a car on Chesterfield Avenue about 5:30 A.M. on February 10th. Maryanne Coon testified she regularly smoked crack with Duling and Pontier, including on the night they died. She said the victims engaged in multiple phone calls to a man named "Ace," who they said had sold them fake drugs. Prosecutor Mark Plants reminded Coon she told police she was not sure who they were talking to. Detective Eric Smith with the Charleston Police Department said he analyzed records and calls from a cellphone registered to Daughtery and Duling's phone found in Pontier's hand, and about 50 calls were placed between the two phones in the hours preceding the murders.
