Member Center:
GALVESTON, Texas (AP) - DNA test results on belts were offered in the Galveston trial of a man accused in the 2007 death of his stepdaughter.
Testimony continued Tuesday in the capital murder trial of Royce Clyde Zeigler II, who is charged with killing the 2-year-old dubbed "Baby Grace." Her battered body, discovered in a container in Galveston Bay, was identified by Ohio relatives as Riley Ann Sawyers.
Rhonda Craig, a forensic supervisor at the FBI laboratory in Quantico, Va., said there was a one in 350 billion chance that DNA on one belt was from someone other than Zeigler. Craig said there was less chance that DNA on the belt, from the family's home, was from Riley and her mother, but she could not exclude them.
Kimberly Ann Trenor earlier was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to life in prison.
