OZARK-Closing arguments began Tuesday morning in the capital murder case of Coley Lewis McCraney as the trial entered its seventh day in Dale County Circuit Court here and the six-man,
After two days of voire dire, a seven-man, seven-woman jury was seated April 17. One juror did not show up for jury duty and was dismissed. Tuesday morning, the woman who had served in an alternate status was allowed to leave.
Monday McCraney took the stand to say that he had met Beasley, who he knew as “Jennifer,” at a Dothan mall in June 1999. He said that casual conversation with her led to him giving Beasley the phone number to his mother’s house, which he used because he did not have a phone at the home he shared with his girlfriend.
The girls dropped McCraney off near his house at about 12:45 a.m. He said he didn’t want to be dropped off at his house because his girlfriend was there. His girlfriend drove him to the Big/Little to get his car. Beasley had been celebrating her 17th birthday party and had been invited to a party in Headland. Beasley picked up Hawlett at around 10 p.m., Thomas recounted. After not finding the Headland party, the teen decided to meet some of their “guy friends” at the gas station in Midland City, he said. The girls did not show up and the boys eventually left.
Advancements in DNA technology led to the identification of McCraney as a suspect, Marshall said. “In March 2019, the OPD received an answer it had been waiting on for years. The defendant’s profile matched DNA evidence on the victim. “The only two eyewitnesses to this crime are dead, Marshall said. “No, we don’t have a gun but that doesn’t mean he didn’t do it.
