Opening statements in the trial of
Kaitlin Armstrong, who allegedly murdered elite cyclist Moriah Wilson in 2022, were made in Austin, Texas, this morning.
The proceedings started with Armstrong again pleading not guilty to the murder of Wilson.
The state prosecutor, Rickey Jones said that Armstrong was able to track Wilson’s whereabouts via a fitness app (but did not specify which app) in the days before Wilson’s murder.
"The last thing Mo did on this earth was scream in terror," Jones said. "Those screams are followed by 'pop, pop!'... You won’t hear any more screams after that."
"I want to talk to you about what you didn’t hear about," said
one of Armstrong’s defense attorneys, Geoffrey Puryear. "Not one witness saw Kaitlin Armstrong allegedly commit this murder. Because there isn’t one."
If the defense's best statement is no one saw her murder anyone, its over as that does not refute the evidence nor her flight.
Despite there being no eyewitness to the murder, the evidence is absolutely stacked against her. Was it a crime of passion? It certainly seems that way.
