Carly Lewis murder
TRAVERSE CITY -- The jury continues to hear testimony on the third day of Robert Jensen Schwander's murder trial.
Schwander is accused of killing 16 year old Carly Lewis in June.
On Friday morning a local teacher testified that he exchanged letters with Schwander and even visited him in jail. He said that Schwander talked about evil spirits taking over him.
Schwanders close friends tearfully testified against him telling the juror he asked them to lie about his whereabouts during the 2 weeks Carly Lewis was missing.
Even though the prosecution is not finished with it's witness testimony, the defense was allowed to call its medical examiner to testify.
Washtenaw County Chief Medical Examiner, Dr. Bader Cassin testified that the stab wounds found on Carly's body did not kill her, and that it is possible she was strangled. That counters the prosecution's claim that Carly died from one of the ten stab wounds found on her body.
7&4's Lauren Amstutz will be back in the courtroom when the trial picks back up on Tuesday.
