State v. Willis6/30/2003
bertson County in September of 1990, testified that he was at the scene where the victim's body was recovered and was present during the autopsy. He identified some articles of the victim's clothing given to him by the doctor performing the autopsy. He said he did not recall finding a purse or billfold at the scene.
Detective Perry testified that he interviewed the defendant on September 20, 1990. A tape of that interview was played for the jury.
On cross-examination, Detective Perry said he interviewed the defendant with Detective Bennett. He said the defendant told him he had been watching football with Harold McCarver and later, he left to meet McCarver at the Golden Cue. Detective Perry said he thought the defendant was not being honest because he was afraid he was going to be prosecuted for drinking and driving. He said he did not interview Harold McCarver. He admitted that he interviewed several people who were at the bars on the night in question and that some of them had been drinking heavily that night. He said that he was aware there was a fight at the Golden Jukebox that night and that the defendant told him he left before the fight and then came back after the fight. He said he did not interview "Snake" Frazier nor Brenda Huggins but was aware they were being investigated. Initially, he said he did not remember interviewing the victim's sister, Gina Marable, but upon prompting, he did recall the interview, but not the content.
Michael Greenfield was the defendant's employer at Greenfield Trucking in September of 1990. Mr. Greenfield said they kept a number of different sized Torx screwdrivers, which were used on smaller scale GM trucks. He said that in September 1990, they were laying a road near the Port Royal bridge. He said they did not work on Saturday and Sunday, and despite barricades they set up, a truck could still get around them and drive down the road. He said that over the weekend in question, his company left a low boy, an oil distributor, a front end loader, and, possibly, a grader at the site. He said they had a "steam ginny" that was used for washing vehicles. He said he would not care if anyone ran their personal vehicle through the steam ginny nor would he care if anyone used the company tools to work on their personal vehicles.
On cross-examination, Mr. Greenfield said the defendant had worked for him for approximately five years and was an excellent worker. He said that the defendant treated his truck like "it was his first born child" and that he was obsessed with it and washed it every day. He said he let employees use the company's tools but that he was unaware of any Torx screwdrivers missing, only that the TBI has some that they never returned. He said some employees parked their vehicles in nearby caves when it was hot.
Mr. Greenfield said he went to the job site on Sunday, September 9, 1990, to check on the equipment. He said that in driving to the job site, he drove over some of the roads on which they had already worked. He said he met a friend there, had a beer, and then left the site heading toward Robertson County, after entering from Montgomery County. He said the defendant did not act unusual when he showed up for work on Monday.
Additionally, he testified that the defendant eventually quit working for him out of respect for the company because he was "getting hassled" on the job by the TBI and the police who were questioning him and by his co-workers.
Robert Wendell Haynes was a doorman at the Golden Jukebox in September 1990. He said that he knew the defendant by face and that the defendant came into the bar on the night of September 8, 1990. He said he was not sure when the defe
