After four days of testimony, the prosecution wrapped up its case with perhaps the most emotional evidence admitted so far: pictures of Richard Bailey's body from the autopsy.
The Bailey family left the courtroom before those pictures were shown, already distraught from Dr. Jeffrey Hubbard's verbal description of the gunshot wound to Richard's head.
Also admitted today, the two letters Devon Callicutt allegedly wrote from prison, admitting to the murder. To prove their authenticity, ADA David Rossi called a handwriting expert to the stand.
Other pieces of evidence:
-Surveillance video showing two males riding their bikes the night of the shooting, in what police call the target area.
-The emotional 9-1-1 call made by a passerby, describing Richard's body lying on the sidewalk along South Lake Avenue.
-Testimony by King Modest, Callicutt's alleged accomplice, including a secretly recorded conversation during which modest describes the shooting.
With all of this evidence and testimony combined, the prosecution hopes to prove without a doubt, Callicutt murdered Richard.
The defense also rested its case today, first calling to the stand Si-Shuron Clow. Cheryl Coleman had questioned Modest on the stand earlier during the trial, asking if he had bragged to Clow at a party that he shot Richard. Modest testified he didn't know Clow. When Clow took the stand, he plead the 5th amendment.
Coleman also called Ricardo Caldwell, another one of Callicutt's alleged accomplices, back to the stand. He admitted he composed a song posted on Myspace with the lyrics " one shot in the head, right down to Albany med."
Closing arguments are set for Monday.
