To establish that A was acting as D's agent, P calls A as a witness. On direct examination A testifies that he was employed by D and was engaged in D's employ at the time of the accident. On establishing A's agency P has no further questions. W testifies that she was at the movies at the time of H's death. The prosecution alleges that D shot V in a domestic disturbance.
D claims that V committed suicide.
The state offers morgue photos of the entry wound to show the absence of powder burns for the purpose of showing that the shot was fired from several feet away. D calls W to testify that he has known D for the last five years and that D's reputation for peacefulness is good. The prosecutor would seek to ask W if is aware that two years earlier D was arrested for shoplifting.
