Murder Trial Begins
WEST VIRGINIA....
Jury selection and opening arguments began Wednesday in the first-degree murder case of 43 year old Robert S. Frazier of Huntington. Prosecutors allege he fatally shot Kathryn Gale Smith on August 25, 2008, inside a home they had shared in Guyandotte. At the time, a friend said Smith had been in a physically and mentally abusive relationship. A witness told police Frazier and Smith were involved in an argument, and they saw Frazier enter the bedroom with a shotgun in his hands before hearing one gunshot. The witness claims Frazier climb out the bedroom window with blood on his arms and clothes, while yelling at the witness to not tell anyone he had been at the residence.
