CHEHALIS – The man who was at the Wings Way house when four people were shot is among the witnesses who will testify this afternoon as John A. Booth Jr.’s triple murder trial continues in Lewis County Superior Court.
John Lindberg hid in a bathroom when the guns came out during the events of Aug. 21, 2010 in the Salkum-Onalaska area, according to Chief Criminal Deputy Prosecutor Brad Meagher.
Somehow when the two men, allegedly Booth and his former cell mate Ryan J. McCarthy, fled the home, they forgot Lindberg was there, Meagher has said.
This morning jurors heard from a Washington State Patrol detective who diagramed the crime scene, from the sheriff’s office evidence director and from a Spokane deputy who found a 9 mm handgun in an attic where Booth was arrested days after the slayings.
More to come.
