WACO, Texas (KWTX) – The State of Texas and the defense both rested their cases Thursday afternoon in the murder-for-hire trial of Waco Attorney Seth Sutton.
Sutton, 48, president of the Red Mouse Cult motorcycle club, is on trial in Waco’s 19th State District Court on criminal solicitation of capital murder charges. An undercover Waco police officer earlier this week testified that Sutton plotted to kill Waco attorney Marcus Beaudin because Sutton’s female family member reported Beaudin molested her when she was 14.
Sutton did not testify in his own defense. His defense attorney told jurors that Beaudin was not told of any potential threat against his life by police officers during the investigation. He then rested the defense’s case.
Jury summations will begin at 8:30 Friday.
