Blog from Shenandoah Murder Trial

Day two of testimony in the Shenandoah beating trial began with 18 year old Brian Scully, who was with the defendants Brandon Piekarsky and Derrick Donchak and others when Luis Ramirez was beaten.

Asst DA AJ Serina questioned Scully at length about what happened that night.

Scully admitted to making the initial contact with Roxanne Rector and Luis Ramirez, and responded to inquiries about Scully's initial testimony, which he admitted contained lies.

Piekarsky's attorney Fred Fanelli went on the offensive to try and punch holes in the first statements given by Scully to Shenandoah police.

Scully admitted again that he didn't tell the whole truth in trying to protect himself and his friends.

Donchak's attorney Jeff Markosky also pursued the same line of questioning as Fanelli.

Probably about 70 people in attendance at today proceedings.
