Aggravation phase underway in Forde trial
Jurors will be hearing from Gina Gonzalez again today in the trial of Shawna Forde.
This time Gonzalez will tell the jury about the emotional impact the murders of her husband and 9-yeard-old daughter have had on her. She and her eldest daughter are testifying as part of the state's attempts to obtain the death penalty for Forde.
Gonzalez walked into court this morning carrying several pictures of her family taken before home invaders barged their way into her house on May 30, 2009, and changed her life forever.
Right now, prosecutor Rick Unklesbay is giving his opening statement in the aggravation phase.
Sometime this afternoon, defense attorneys Jill Thorpe and Eric Larsen will begin to put on their mitigation evidence.
