FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) - A defense attorney says the prosecution's case is missing pieces in the third trial of a man accused of killing a woman and two of her daughters in North Carolina 25 years ago.
Fifty-one-year-old Master Sgt. Timothy Hennis was recalled to active duty so he could face a military trial at Fort Bragg in the 1985 deaths of 31-year-old Kathryn Eastburn and two daughters at their home in Fayetteville.
One of Hennis' attorneys, Lt. Col. Kris Poppe, said Wednesday that Hennis worked with police in the investigation, not something a guilty man would do.
A prosecutor, Capt. Nate Huff, said in his opening statement that new DNA evidence linked Hennis and Eastburn.
He was convicted in state court, but won an appeal and was acquitted in a second trial. The case was turned over to the Army after investigators found the new evidence.
