State v. Willis6/30/2003
his girlfriends to Port Royal." She said Port Royal State Park was a 25 to 30-minute drive from the apartment. She said that after the victim disappeared, the defendant stayed at the apartment only a week or so.
On cross-examination, Ms. Bickford testified that the defendant was fairly meticulous about keeping his truck clean. She admitted that the Port Royal area was a fairly common place for people to go and "party." She testified that she never physically saw the victim at the defendant's apartment, but that she knew she had been there because her boyfriend told her not to go over there because she (the victim) was there. She told a detective that the victim and the defendant had come out of the defendant's home together early one morning, probably in July or August.
Ms. Bickford said that she talked to law enforcement that after, just a couple of months after the victim's body was found. Additionally, she said she spoke with members of the victim's family, because the victim was a friend of hers and she was close to the victim's family.
Rose Corbin owned the Golden Jukebox in September 1990. She said Greenfield Trucking was located "just across the street, maybe a half of a mile or maybe not that far." She said she was working on the night of September 8, 1990, and they were very busy. She said that "Snake" Frazier was barred from the bar at that time and that she did not see him that night. She said the parking lot was very well lit. She said the defendant was in the bar that night. Additionally, she said the security guards broke up a fight at the bar between 12:30 and 1:00 that night. She testified that there were a number of different doors into the bar; that her employee , Lisa Zionchowski, left the bar around 2:45; and that she (Corbin) left between 3:00 and 3:15.
On cross-examination, Ms. Corbin said she never saw the victim at the bar that night nor did she see the defendant come into the bar. She said "Snake" Frazier was on the barred list because he was involved in a shooting at the bar and was supposedly the person who did the shooting. She said she knew Brenda Huggins as "Snake" Frazier's girlfriend but that Huggins was not barred.
She said she talked with the victim's family after the murder and, for a while, had a reward poster in the bar. She affirmed that the only time she saw the defendant at the bar was when he was "hand popping" with his friends and having a good time. On redirect, Ms. Corbin said she did talk with the victim's family, but they did not intimidate her or get her to change anything she said.
Cecelia Delacy was a friend of the victim in 1990. She testified that the victim liked to party but was not an IV drug user.

From a photograph of the victim, Ms. Delacey described a ring on the victim's finger as an oval black onyx ring with a gold band and gold slash across it. She said the victim was fond of the ring and would always have it on. She said the victim was flirtatious but did not sleep around.
She said that on the night in question, she met with the victim around 9:00, they had some beer and some marijuana and then left for the Golden Jukebox around 11:00. At the Golden Jukebox they saw the defendant, who she described as being friendly with the victim, with the defendant showing more attention to the victim than vice versa and seeming to like her "differently." She said the defendant bought them drinks and then around 12:00, the defendant and the victim went to another bar, Joe B's. She said she was going to Joe B's later and, as she was leaving the Golden Jukebox, she saw the
