Andre Jackson shouted 'Oh, God!' in court as the jury read a guilty verdict for the murder of the 11-year-old boy six years ago.
Josue, 11, was stabbed to death more than 20 times on May 17, 2016, on his way home from school. Jackson, who had steadfastly maintained his claim of innocence, broke down as the verdict was read in court Tuesday afternoon.
Monday in court, defense attorneys brought a witness to the stand to explain the possibility of"transfer DNA", meaning Jackson may have come into contact with the real assailant and they transferred Josue's DNA to his jacket.He told jurors that context was important to DNA and Josue's was found on Jackson's jacket. Jackson was also seen in video headed the opposite way of the crime scene around the time it happened, while putting on a jacket.
Keiter said if they think a"marine combat veteran" is guilty, they owe it to him to go back and re-think it. He pointed out to jurors that crime scene investigators did not take swabs of Jackson's room at the Salvation Army and no one collected video from the facility showing May 17, 2016. He told jurors that the state would try to persuade them with emotions, but emphasized on more than one occasion that emotions are not evidence.
He ended around 11:05 a.m. by saying that Jackson had no history of violence, he was attending school, did not fit the description given by citizen witnesses and only a small amount of Josue's DNA was found on his jacket. He told jurors that Jackson must have come in contact with the actual assailant.He started off by showing jurors the last photo of Josue ever taken. It was at his end of the year science fair party.
