Mark Becker Trial Day 7: A-P Students Called To Stand

((HT: KWWL-TV))

The defense continued its case in the Mark Becker murder trial on Friday with Aplington-Parkersburg High School students called to the stand.

The defense called three Aplington-Parkersburg student-athletes to testify. All were outside the weight room when Becker fatally shot head football coach Ed Thomas. They all had just pulled up to the school's weight room as the shooting happened.

They described hearing "loud cracks" or "firecracker sounds," later learning the sounds were gun shots.

Then they each said they saw students leaving the building, and Becker coming out of the door. One of the athletes said Becker started walking in circles and looked frustrated and angry.

Jamie Grey got to do her package on tape for Friday...
