From ABS-CBN (Jun 8): US NCIS agent testifies in Pemberton murder trial
Special Agent Jeremy Michael Dastrup of the US Naval Criminal Investigative Service (US NCIS) testified in the continuation of the trial of Lance Corporal Joseph Scott Pemberton for the murder of Filipino transgender Jennifer Laude.
As a prosecution witness, Dastrup said that as a special agent of the US NCIS, he was tasked to gather evidence and take pictures of Pemberton during his physical examination.
He said he was present when Lt. Commander Kenny Choi and his assistant conducted the physical examination on Pemberton on board the USS Peleliu two days after the killing of Jennifer Laude last October 11, 2014.
The two medical officers testified last week, saying Pemberton suffered laceration, injuries and light scratches which is indicative of a struggle.
He also revealed that he was able to interview one of Pemberton's buddies, Lance Corporal Bennett Dahl, and confirmed his earlier testimony.
The prosecution was only able to present one witness today but is expected to present five more witnesses, mostly forensic experts and NCIS agents, before the end of June.
Pemberton and private lawyers of the Laude family were not able to attend the hearing today.
Last week, the United Nationalist Alliance announced that they are considering Atty. Harry Roque, private lawyer of the Laude family, to be part of their senatorial line-up.
