LaBarre Wants to Bar Expert on Serial Killers
March 27, 2008
Sheila LaBarre’s defense attorneys are seeking to prevent a state’s witness from taking the stand. Their argument is there is no scientific basis behind the witness’ testimony.
“Basically, it is an FBI profiler who feels she is a serial killer,” Defense Attorney Jeffrey Denner said, following an ex parte hearing in Rockingham County Superior Court on Wednesday.
Denner said they take “offense” to LaBarre even being referred to as a serial killer.
“We are not comfortable with an assumption that this was a serial killing case,” Defense Attorney Brad Bailey said. “We need to determine if there is a scientific basis for this expert to testify. There are a lot of issues that need to be brought in front of the judge.”
Bailey added they are not sure what the witness is going to testify about, and don’t feel the state has proffered enough information regarding his testimony.
