BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) -
There was
graphic testimony Thursday morning in the murder trial of Dominique Smith, as a
BREC employee described finding the bodies of the two victims in a Zachary park.
Smith is
accused of cutting the throats of three people, including his own daughter, who
survived.
Law
enforcement officers and the coroner also took the stand Thursday. Officials
plan to visit the scene where it all happened later in the day.
Smith's
daughter testified against her father by video Wednesday. She told the
prosecutor her dad and a lady cut her mom's neck, but she wasn't sure which one
it was.
The other
woman, Trindel Mathews, has pleaded guilty and agreed to testify against Smith.
