The first witness is expected to testify today, Tuesday, before the Mixed Jury Court that last Friday opened the case of the heinous crime in Glyka Nera with 34-year-old Bampi Anagnostopoulos as the accused.
The pilot who during the previous, first, trial heard the prosecutor read the indictment for the suffocating death of 20-year-old Caroline Crouch and the killing by hanging of the dog they had at home, even constantly looking him in the eye, today is expected to hear the first testimony from the list of prosecution witnesses.
A total of 14 witnesses will testify
A total of 14 prosecution witnesses have been called to the trial including the police officers who had rushed to the couple's house when the defendant had alerted them to the alleged robbery, the forensic expert who was at the scene and located the watch that recorded biometric data of Caroline, the neighbour and others. The finding of the watch was crucial to solving the crime, which was declared a robbery by the pilot, as it revealed that Caroline was asleep six minutes before she entered the "death machine procedure."
Analysis of the watch data refutes, according to the brief, all of the defendant's claims of a heated argument leading up to the crime and the "mental boiling" under which he acted.
And the killing of the dog at trial
The witness list includes the 20-year-old's parents, who, however, are unlikely to stand up to the 34-year-old and will be represented by their lawyer . Crouch not to confront her daughter's killer so as not to become mentally charged in order to offer peace of mind to her only two-year-old granddaughter who now lives with them, probably make the courtroom unapproachable for the couple.
In the trial, for the first time in a case of manslaughter with simultaneous killing of an animal, the animal welfare association from which Caroline adopted the little dog, as well as the Panhellenic Federation of Animal Welfare, whose representations about the brutal killing of the dog, Roxy, were accepted by the court.
