NEXT AT 10 ON NBC 5: An accused killer's fate is now in the hands of a jury. The final statements in the Andre Emmett murder trial.
Jurors were also asked to consider the expert witnesses who said phone records and Facebook activity placed Jenkins at the location of the murder that night in 2019.
The defense, however, said the evidence doesn’t put Jenkins at the scene and pointed to the credibility of the prosecution's witnesses, calling them"hooks and crooks." Emmett’s family said he was a talented basketball player, but he was most proud of being a family man and father to two little girls, ages 2 and 3 at the time of his death.
"His girls were and are his life," said his sister, Sasha Emmett."They don't really know what's going on, but they were with him all the time and he's going to be absent in their life now." Emmett was a standout player at Dallas Carter High School who went on to play at Texas Tech and in the NBA with the Grizzlies and Nets.This article tagged under:
