Mackenzie Cowell was murdered in February 2010. The case is finally going to trial with jury selection today.
Christopher Scott Wilson is accused of of strangling and stabbing to death the 17-year-old.
He was offered a plea deal of ten years that he turned down. Once again after reading about this case the jury will not be allowed to see or hear how strange this guy is. An acquaintance claimed that Wilson told her he liked to ‘cut people up’ when he was working at area funeral homes.
However, a judge barred prosecutors from introducing that work history or mentioning his Hannibal Lecter arm tattoo at trial. He was obsessed with Hannibal Lecter and the TV character Dexter.
Wilson's attorney also seeks to suppress photos and a video police believe show the interior of Wilson’s apartment, where Cowell is thought to have died.
The images and videos inside the apartment involve Wilson’s friend Tessa Schuyleman ‘posing as a dead person’ on the floor of Wilson’s apartment next to a stain.
Investigators said the stain is Cowell’s blood, matched directly to her DNA. Ahhh haaa we have it here ... a real genuine CSI case if any jury person demands the 60 minute CSI version of murders ... DNA and a video!
