Jury Hears 9-1-1 Call Of Fiancee Of Craigslist Murder Victim
By Steve Tawa
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - The victim's fiancee in the Craigslist murder trial took the witness stand, while jurors heard her desperate 9-1-1 call to Philadelphia police. It happened in West Oak Lane two years ago, as the victim responded to an online classified ad for an ATV.
"I don't know what's going on. I don't know what to do," Jessica Davis told jurors.
Trembling on the witness stand, she said when she called the 9-1-1 dispatcher, she was worried that the shooter was coming to get her too, because she had the money for the transaction.
She and her boyfriend, 27-year old Daniel Cook, went to West Oak Lane to check out an all terrain vehicle, but he was shot and killed within seconds of getting out of their car.
Coming up today, the defense will try to call the former lead homicide detective in the case. Ronald Dove testified at defendant Thomas Coffee's preliminary hearing. Since then, Dove was indicted on obstruction of justice and other misconduct charges in unrelated matters.
The presiding judge in this trial, Glenn Bronson, told the defense he will hold a hearing out of view of jurors, to determine the extent to which the former cop could be questioned on the stand.
