Grisly new details emerged on the second day of a mass murder trial as officers who responded to the scene and a forensic pathologist described what they saw in their roles investigating the case.

Dr. Anthony Clark, who in 2004 was the Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s medical examiner at the Moultrie laboratory, told jurors that Jaime and Katrina “Tina” Darlene Resendez each had multiple gunshot wounds that would have been fatal. The couple’s 3-year-old son Juan, their housekeeper Liliana Alegria Aguilar, and Tina Resendez’s mother Betty Watts all died of single gunshot wounds to the head.

Clark’s testimony came on the second day of the trial of Alexander Woods III, 34, who faces five counts of murder. In testimony on Tuesday, the opening day of the trial, the state’s key witness Jerry Johnny Thompson, told that the  massacre was linked to marijuana trafficking between Moultrie and Texas.

Jerry Watts — Betty’s husband, the father of Tina Resendez and Juan’s grandfather — remained in the courtroom as Clark discussed the couple’s injuries, but left as Clark was about to be questioned about his wife. He has been at most of the hearings in the quintuple murder case that has had many twists and turns since the shocking crime occurred on Nov. 8, 2004. Watts has declined previous requests to discuss the case.

The couple both had their hands tied behind their backs, Clark said, and Aguilar had been hog-tied by a long telephone cord and covered with a blanket.

Jaime Resendez was shot in the right shoulder, with the bullet traveling down through a lung, and a second gunshot wound in the left chest area. His wife was shot in the right cheek and back of the neck, with the second bullet lodging in her brain, testimony revealed.

In addition to the gunshot wounds, each of the adults also had bruising and/or abrasions that could have indicated rough treatment or perhaps putting up a struggle, Clark said. Juan also had blunt force injuries, and Aguilar had two cuts on her face with what Clark described as a serrated blade.

All of the bullets recovered in or near the bodies came from a 9 mm pistol; a GBI gun expert said all were fired from the same gun, a Lorcin brand weapon.

Colquitt County sheriff’s deputies, who were the first to arrive after three of Tina Resendez’s children walked into the house after being dropped off after school, described a house that had been ransacked.

Video and photographs shown on Wednesday showed kitchen cabinets and a large freezer with open doors. Closets also had been rifled through.

“I found that kind of unusual,” said Colquitt County Magistrate Judge J.J. McMillan, who was a sheriff’s investigator at the time of the murders, of the open freezer door in a room off the kitchen.

McMillan, who spent more than an hour on the stand, said there was no evidence of forced entry at any of the doors or windows of the residence, a single-wide mobile home that had been improved with additions to the front and back and given a brick exterior. Investigators spent about 29 hours repeatedly going over the scene the day of the murders and following day.

Unexplained was a bloody mop found in the bathroom of the master bedroom.

“There really was no excuse that we could conclude,” McMillan said. “We thought maybe the perpetrators initially tried to clean up.”

All of the bedrooms also appeared to have been ransacked, he said.

“Things were knocked over, like maybe somebody was looking for something,” McMillan said.

Aguilar was found wrapped or covered in the living room, while the couple was found at the end of the hallway where blood was splattered on the walls. Watts’ body was inside the guest bathroom off the hallway, while Juan’s was found shoved behind the mattress in the master bedroom.

Jurors also heard and watched video of a search of a creek in Tift County in which investigators said they found an AK47 and “banana clip” magazine for that gun. A clip containing two rounds from a Lorcin 9 mm was found but the pistol never was recovered.

Jerry Johnny Thompson, who has pleaded guilty to five counts of murder, testified on Tuesday that he disposed of the weapons there. He later assisted law enforcement in finding them.

Thompson, who has been sentenced to a life term on one count and was to be sentenced on the others after giving testimony in the trial, also said that he saw Woods at the residence that day after he showed Woods and a deceased associate, Anthony Davis, the location and continued driving. He said that he sent the men there to have them convince Jaime Resendez to contact his Houston-area marijuana supplier Hector and that things went wrong.

When he returned to the house, he said, Jaime Resendez was dead, and Woods was trying to find cash, holding a 9 mm to the housekeeper’s head and telling him to translate for him.

Gary Mackie, who drove by the Resendez’s residence at about 7:45 p.m. on his way to work the morning of the murders, told jurors that he saw a green Ford Expedition parked at the back of the residence. Mackie said he noted the vehicle because he knew the cars that normally were parked at the house.

And Davis’ ex-wife Anjanee Davis said that Anthony Davis had a green Expedition at the time and that he worked as a “bodyguard” for drug dealers as well as selling drugs and gambling himself.

Under cross examination she said that she had never met Thompson or Woods.

Thompson’s further sentencing is set for Monday.
