It was an extraordinarily busy day for Fred Furnish. It was the day he murdered Jean Williamson. It was the day he robbed Jean Williamson. It was the day he burglarized her home. It was the day he used her credit card.
Today is a new day.
Today is the day when you as a group will begin to hear evidence that the defendant, Fred Furnish, is guilty. But he acknowledged that his case has holes, including a lack of blood samples and fingerprint evidence to tie Mr. Furnish to the case. Mr. Buring promised that at least one of those transactions would accompany a clear photo from a bank, indicating that Mr. Furnish was making the withdrawals. Testimony began after Thursday's opening statements. Jeffrey Cheser, president of the former Kiwi Carpeting, testified that Mr. Furnish began working for him April 9.
