With the lights on, the trial resumes
Testimony in Terry Lee Bess’ second-degree murder trial resumed Tuesday morning with Sgt. Shannon Price of the Shelby Police Department back on the stand.
After providing the jury with an overview of the area surrounding Logan Street using photographs, Price described what he first encountered when he arrived at the scene at the 800 block the night of the stabbing.
He testified he found Sherwood Wade at an apartment complex slumped over a plastic lawn chair with a stab wound to the chest. He said Wade was taking his last breaths.
Price said he asked Bess if they had been fighting. Price testified Bess responded: "Ask him. Let him tell you."
Price said Wade was obviously unable to respond.
Justin Ledford, a paramedic for Cleveland County EMS, then took the witness stand.
He testified he checked his pulse when he arrived at the scene. He wasn’t breathing and had no pulse. He pronounced him dead. He said Wade had a large puncture wound to the chest.
