The murder trial of Desmond Lavonta Brown continued yesterday in Cherokee County, Alabama Superior Court. Brown, a Georgia resident, is accused of murdering two sisters from Floyd County, Georgia and dumping their bodies near the Etowah River in Rome.
Vanita Richardson was just 19-years-old at the time of her murder and was an Armuchee High School Student. Brown is accused of killing Richardson and her half-sister Truvenia Campbell, age 31, in Alabama in a dispute over an allegedly stolen wallet.
Georgia DOT crews found the bodies of the two sisters with bags tied over their heads while they were inspecting a bridge over the river.
Brown is facing the death penalty in Alabama if convicted. The trial is expected to wrap up sometime this week.
