Prosecution witness Sheriff Detective Ben Hagglund showed to the jury on Tuesday a .22 calibre handgun allegedly belonging to Michael Oakes. Detective Hagglund did not observe threading on the pistol that would allow it to accept a silencer.

Veterinarian Dr. Lee Anderson, DVM, was sworn in Thursday morning in People v. Oakes.  Dr. Anderson described the discovery and removal of three bullets from Mark Stover's guard dog, Dingo, who was brought to him October 29, 2009, by Beth Coleman.

The prosecution in People v. Oakes called Mark Stover's next-door neighbor, Stephanie Poor, to testify. Ms. Poor also worked for Mark Stover, and she saw Stover's vehicle, which she had assumed was driven by Mr. Stover, leave the driveway like a "bat-out-of-hell," which would have been very unusual for Mr. Stover.

The first witness in People v. Oakes was Mark Stover's fiancee, Teresa Vaux-Michel.

Ms. Vaux-Michel recounted her first meeting with Mark Stover, and the days prior to and after Mark Stover's death.
