13ABC from your link:
It is Day Two of testimony in the murder trials of the two men charged in the brutal killings of a young couple in Springfield Township a year and a half ago.
Prosecutors say DNA from a cigarette butt found at the crime scene links Samuel Williams and Cameo Pettaway to the deaths of 20-year-old Lisa Straub and her boyfriend 21-year-old Johnny Clarke.
13-ABC's Christine Long is following the Williams capital murder trial.
Tuesday morning the state called to the stand Johnny Clarke's dad, John Clarke, Jr.
The court did not allow 13 ABC to record testimony. WHY THE HELL NOT?? However, John Clarke, Jr. is the person who broke down the door to the Straub family home on Longacre Lane back in January of 2011 and discovered the bodies of his son Johnny and his son's girlfriend Lisa Straub.
The young couple had their hands duct-taped behind their backs and plastic bags over their heads.
Johnny's dad testified he ripped the plastic bags off of both of their heads before police arrived.
John Clarke also testified that he was aware of a threat against his son. He said it was a threat made to Johnny involving Johnny's car. It was a car Johnny sold to a woman named Alexandra Cousino.
Cousino took the stand right after Mr. Clarke and also talked about how she was mad about the sale of the car.
This testimony is where we're seeing the first connection to the defendant Samuel Williams besides the cigarette butt prosecutors mentioned in Opening Statements.
Cousino testified that she is friends with Williams and the other man charged in the Springfield Township murders, Cameo Pettaway.
