Mason Murder Trial Was Uneventful On Day 3
posted (March 14, 2019)
Today was Day 3 in the murder trial against William Danny Mason and his 4 co-accused for the beheading of Pastor Llewellyn Lucas.

The case continued this morning before Justice Antoinette Moore, and DPP Cheryl-Lynn Vidal called mechanic Eliasar Pineda to testify against Mason, Ashton Vanegas, Keron Fernandez, Terrence Fernandez, and Ernest Castillo.

Yesterday Police Corporal Ryan Martinez recounted for the court the series of events which led to the discovery of the decapitated head of Pastor Lucas in the back of William Mason's pick-up truck on July 15, 2016. Well, Pineda was the civilian mechanic who police called on the night to help them to get Mason's vehicle opened, when none of his keys worked. He couldn't open the pickup, and only saw police and Mason looking in the pan. He was then told that his assistance was no longer required, and he went home without seeing what was found inside the pan.

Pineda was witness #7 for the prosecution, and the trial has been adjourned until Monday.
