UPDATE: Prosecution, defense rest in Coley McCraney capital murder trial, but not before a bombshell was dropped
McCraney then testified that he and the girls drove to where his truck was parked at another gas station and Beasley asked to see the inside of his truck. McCraney said one thing led to another and the two had sex. He then says the girls dropped him off close to home.
When cross-examined by Attorney General Steve Marshall, McCraney testified that he never told anyone publicly that he had met the girls. McCraney also admitted under cross-examination that since he was a long-haul truck driver, no one knew when he would be back home, adding that he did not have a set schedule. McCraney said Beasley did not have his schedule or pager number and would call his mother’s house phone randomly on the weekends.
McCraney was arrested in 2019 and charged with the murders of the 17-year-old Dothan teens two decades earlier. The teens’ bodies were found in 1999. Their deaths remained part of a high profile cold case for years until DNA evidence was revealed that implicated McCraney.If convicted on the capital murder counts against him, McCraney could be sentenced to death or life in prison without parole.
