State v. Willis6/30/2003
did not examine to see if they could have caused the wounds. She said she is not a tool expert but did not think an Allen wrench could have caused the wounds.
Frank Bryan Johnson, a friend of the victim, testified that they were part of a group of about ten to twelve people who smoked pot and experimented with drugs, but were not IV drug users. On September 9, 1990, he said he was working as a bounty hunter, was not in Clarksville, and had nothing to do with the victim's death. He said he was in Arkansas picking up a fugitive by the name he believed to be Russell.
He said that the victim left her purse at his residence or in his car "a day or two prior to that . . . ." He said that when he went to return the purse to the victim, she was not at home so he gave it to Regina Austin. At the time of the murder, he said he was involved with the late night transportation of an individual he picked up through his bounty hunting. He testified that, along with his uncle and a friend, he investigated the victim's murder, confronted the defendant at the Golden Cue, and then witnessed the defendant get upset at this confrontation and assault his uncle.
On cross-examination, he testified that he had one roommate and that a number of people partied at his home and would sleep there, although he said he did not believe the victim ever slept there, she just left her purse there. He said he was very good friends with the victim, although he could not remember any particular jewelry she wore every day. He admitted to doing some private investigating of the case, even confronting the defendant at Greenfield Trucking where he said he possibly talked with the defendant's boss. He said he did not threaten the defendant, but was involved in an altercation with him at the Golden Cue where the defendant was upset with him that he was investigating. Additionally, he said he went to the Golden Jukebox and interviewed Alicia Zinkowski.
He said he knew Brenda Huggins and had seen her at bars. He said he knew the victim loved to party. He testified that he went to Atlanta with the defendant and Amy Jabdon but that he did not threaten Jabdon nor did he tell her to keep her mouth shut or she would end up like (the victim). He said the Robertson County detectives made it very clear that he had no business doing this investigating, referring to his helping investigate at the victim's family's request. He said he never told his old girlfriend, Lisa Zinkowski, not to talk to the police. He admitted to a brief sexual affair with the victim. He said he owned some Torx screwdrivers for use on his car.
Earl Mullins, the records custodian at the Montgomery County Jail, testified that on September 10, 1990, Stanley Lee Russell was booked in on a bond surrender. H e said there was no way he could tell who the bounty hunter was that brought him in. On cross-examination, he said it could have been either a bounty hunter or a bonding company that brought Russell in.
Harold McCarver, an acquaintance of the defendant in September 1990, testified that on September 8, 1990, he went to the Golden Cue, where he saw the defendant. He could not recall the exact time but said, as far as he could remember, that was the first time he saw the defendant that evening. He said he went with the defendant and got some liquor, then returned to the Golden Cue. He said they met some ladies, then went to his apartment where they smoked some marijuana and drank alcohol and then decided to go to the Golden Jukebox. He testified that the defendant drove. He said he was "pretty intoxicated" by the time he got to the Golden Jukebox and was unaware of any times. He said he left the bar around 2:00, 2:30, or 3:00,
