Overview

• Thursday’s session featured officers and technicians detailing evidence collection, DNA analysis, and the traffic stop in Caddo Parish, Louisiana, that led to Carlos Hernandez’s arrest.
• Body camera video and audio presented earlier showed Linda Murray bound with duct tape and captured police discovering Hussein Murray’s body in the basement.
• Prosecutors say premeditation is shown through Ring doorbell footage, retail receipts and surveillance for duct tape and vests, and use of a stolen work truck with fake utility markings.
• Linda Murray testified that the men demanded cash and jewelry, that she saw blood on a suspect’s vest, and that she was beaten and restrained before freeing herself to call 911.
• The co-defendants, Hernandez and Joshua Zuazo, are being tried simultaneously with separate juries on felony murder and unlawful imprisonment charges, with prosecutors seeking life without parole if convicted.
