The anticipated third trial of A.J. Armstrong is now underway in Houston.
FOX 26 Reporter Damali Keith has more on what was said during the first day of the trial.Testimony is now underway in the third murder trial for Antonio Armstrong Junior, who is charged with murdering his parents. Saturday was the seventh anniversary of the day Dawn and Antonio Armstrong Senior were shot to death inside their Bellaire home.
Jordan says Dawn and Antonio Armstrong Sr. were parents at their wits end dealing with a kid who was "lying and scheming". Jordan also told jurors AJ’s mom even told him in a text message after he snuck out of the house in April, "AJ, the alarm doesn’t lie, you lie." At 1:09 a.m., the second floor alarm sensor is activated outside AJ’s parents bedroom. At 1:25, the first floor alarm sensor is set off. The first floor is where the murder weapon was found in the kitchen. 15 minutes later, at 1:40 a.m., AJ calls 911.
Prosecutors ended with these words, "At the conclusion of this trial, you may not know why the defendant killed his parents, but you will know beyond a reasonable doubt that he did it."
