Day 1 – is complete
Day 1 of the Jerry Anderson murder trial is complete. Judge Cayer recessed at 2:30 p.m. today as the motions came to an end. A total of 20 motions were discusses ranging from jurisdiction to evidence to the death penalty.
Dubs made a motion this afternoon asking for a separate hearing on the death penalty and if it is unconstitutional, arguing that it’s even a topic the North Carolina Supreme Court discussed recently.
The judge denied the motion.
So Jerry Anderson waits. He seems patient and nervous, as anyone would be. He cracks a few smiles every now and then. He has two rows of supporters behind him.
I’m sure we will see more folks from Sawmills and Emily Anderson’s family in Kentucky as the trial progresses. It could last a month. It could last much longer.
We start seeing tomorrow those that will decide Jerry’s innocence or guilt. Court reconvenes at 9:30 a.m.
