Defense Witnesses Testify in Wells Trial

Testimony continued Tuesday in Day #5 of the Jason Wells murder trial in Mayville.  According to media reports, a corrections officer and a retired jail warden took the stand and testified on Wells' behavior while he was in jail. According to Wells' defense attorney, the 37-year-old was in an altered state of mind when he beat and stabbed 81-year-old Ruth Fisk to death in Fredonia in February 2010, which would make him guilty of manslaughter instead of murder.  There was a tense moment in the courtroom when a female juror had to be taken to a hospital and was replaced by the last replacement juror available.
