Nicholas Stix, Uncensored: The Desperate Struggle of Jayna Murray ...

Opening arguments in the first-degree murder trial of Brittany Norwood, charged in the horrific killing of her co-worker, provided the most dramatic account yet of a crime that shocked the region for its viciousness and for the twists and turns of an investigation that ultimately revealed a morbidly staged crime scene. They also offered the first indications of how attorneys for the 29-year-old woman accused in the killing plan to defend her. Holding the bloody rope found around the slain woman’s neck and a merchandise display rod used to bash her skull, State’s Attorney John McCarthy said a blood trail shows how the 30-year-old victim tried unsuccessfully to escape her attacker through a back door. The 107 defensive wounds, caused when Murray tried to fend off the attack, were the most the medical examiner had ever seen on one person, Mr. McCarthy said. “Think about how long this took. Jayna is alive through almost all of this,” Mr. McCarthy said, describing how eight separate items found in the upscale yoga-inspired apparel store were used as weapons. “The last wounds are from the knives. This was not slow. This was not painless. This woman struggled to survive.” [Of course, it was premeditated. Norwood lured Murray back into the store, so she could claim that robbers committed the crime. Had it been spontaneous, she would have killed her before they left. But had it been spontaneous, Norwood would probably have failed, because Murray was a big, strong, fit woman who would at least have fought her to a stalemate. No, Norwood had to plan it out, so that she could suckerpunch Murray with a blunt object, and repeatedly bludgeon her in the head, so that all of Murray’s strength and stamina, and the will she showed in trying to run away, and defending herself to the point of suffering over 100 defensive wounds, would avail her not.
