The first full day in the open murder trial of Timothy Brownell, 42, of Bellevue, concluded in Calhoun County 37th Circuit Court today. Brownell, charged with eight counts related to the Oct. 21, 2006 fatal shootings of his ex wife, Mary Brownell and her live-in boyfriend, Larry Allen, in the couple's Ceresco home, could face life in prison if convicted of first degree murder showing premeditation. Testifying Tuesday was Brownell's live-in girlfriend, Barbara Wells, his daughter, Amber, who was home when the shootings occurred, neighbor Jerry Nye who heard the shots, neighbor Stuart Denney, who helped Amber call 911, father Don Brownell, Connie and Ron Jackson (Brownell's biological mother and stepfather), Emmett Township Police Officer Pat Johnson, MSP Trooper Ann Poehlman, Marshall Police Officer Troy DeKryger and three Marshall Ambulance paramedics. Testimony reveals Brownell was upset over child custody issues and the feelings of his children toward him. Calhoun County Prosecutor John Hallacy is trying the case and Brownell is defended by Kennth Marks. See the Saturday, July 14 Chronicle for more on the details of the case revealed on the witness stand. Testimony continues Wednesday, July 11 in front of the three man, 11 woman jury.
