NEW HAVEN — —
Some of the jurors hearing Joshua Komisarjevsky's case Wednesday seemed visibly upset by photographs of the victims of the 2007 Cheshire home invasion and fire, which left Jennifer Hawke-Petit and her daughters Hayley and Michaela Petit dead.
Though jurors seemed to hold back their emotions while viewing photos of the bodies of Hayley and her mother, some appeared visibly shaken by the photo of Michaela's body.
One woman looked stunned. Another cried and covered her face, using her shirt to dab her tears.
In the third day of testimony, Capt. Jay Markella described discovering Michaela's body.
He said the lower half of her body was hanging off the bed. Her arms were over her head and her hands were tied to the bed.
"I knelt down and immediately knew Michaela was not alive," Markella said.
