UPDATED: Murder Suspect To Testify Against Co-Defendant. A Summersville man who allegedly conspired with his girlfriend to murder her parents pled guilty Friday, according to Texas County Prosecutor Michael Anderson.
The witness makes a statement to the police that another unidentified person committed the crime, not the accused. The witness's statement is exculpatory evidence as it introduces reasonable doubt as to the guilt of the accused. The police either do not believe the witness's account or else find the witness unreliable and choose not to follow up on the lead.
