Overview

• Carlos Jose Hernandez and Joshua Zuazo are being tried simultaneously in Oakland County before separate juries on charges of felony murder and unlawful imprisonment.
• Jurors saw body‑camera footage of officers arriving to find Linda Murray with her wrists taped and heard audio as police discovered her husband’s body in the basement.
• Linda Murray testified she was struck in the face, bound with duct tape, and told her husband was "sleeping" as she noticed blood on a suspect’s vest.
• The state introduced Ring doorbell video, store receipts, and surveillance that prosecutors say show planning to impersonate utility workers, including purchases of duct tape and safety vests and use of a stolen work truck with fake DTE signage.
• Defense attorneys asserted Hernandez did not intend to kill and denied his role in the beating, while Zuazo’s counsel challenged his identification; both men pleaded not guilty as testimony continues.
