Montgomery, Alabama
Closing arguments are set to start Tuesday following the final day of testimony from prosecution witnesses in the Ibraheem Yazeed capital murder trial in Macon County. Today was the sixth day of testimony.
Once the prosecution concluded presenting its case, the defense filed a motion saying that the prosecution did not meet its burden of proof again Yazeed, but that motion was denied. The defense rested. Yazeed is charged with three capital counts in the abduction and murder of 19-year-old college student Aniah Blanchard in 2019. Prosecutors say she was abducted from a Chevron gas station on South College Street in Auburn. Her car was found at an apartment complex in Montgomery, while her body was discovered in a wooded area in Macon County about a month following her disappearance. Today, both a forensic anthropologist and the medical examiner were on the witness stand with analysis of what was found of Aniah Blanchard’s remains. They testified that Blanchard was shot in the head. The medical examiner said that it can’t be determined at what distance she had been shot. The forensic anthropologist said a projectile was found in the soil where the body was believed to have decomposed with bone fragments also found.
