Brothers testified about July trip
Deputy District Attorney Lisa Green continues to question Vincent Brothers.
She asks if Vincent Brothers paid for the burial of his family. Eddie Harper asked for help from Vincent Brothers and Vincent Brothers never offered, Green said. The defense said Eddie Harper took $10,000 from Joanie Harper’s bank account that could have gone to the funeral arrangements. Brothers said he does not recall what happened with the funeral expenses. He said his brother-in-law, Will Jennings, handled that. Green asks Brothers if Eddie Harper asked him to help. Brothers said he does not remember this conversation. Brothers said all the money had had on him he gave to his brother and his attorney filed paperwork to help handle that. Brothers said Will is married to his sister, Yvette. Brothers said Eddie Harper called in March 2004. Did he tell Eddie Harper that he found out his family was killed at his mother’s house. Brothers says he misspoke. Brothers said he got up early on Saturday and was planning to go to Indiana to catch a basketball tournament. Brothers said he did not plan to go with Troy. This is Sat. July 5, 2003. Troy asked to go with him. The trip to Bloomington was three hours. Brothers said he stopped on the way to get breakfast from McDonalds or Burger King. He paid with cash. They stopped to ask for directions and to buy fireworks, but he was told he could not carry them across state lines. The fireworks booth was in Indiana. Brothers said he looked for the tournament, but it was advertised wrong. “You don’t recall if it was at a school,” “No I don’t recall,” He said he used the rental car’s map. Green asks Brothers if he was planning to be gone over night if the tournament would have happened. Brothers said he did not pack for an all-day event. Brothers said the trip to Columbia, Missouri was five more hours. He said he drove. Brothers said Troy slept off and on. Brothers said he never took a photo during the April, July or September trips. Brothers said he already had information about the schools. While he was in Missouri he bumped into a fraternity brother named Steven Bivens. 2 comments from 2 users

Unfortunately the defenense will not be calling Mr. Bivens because they have no more witnessess. And oh yea, his brother Troy, the guy who spent all that time with him during the murders, he won't be testifying either- the defense didn't bother to put him on the stand and he seems to have skipped town. Man Troy seems really nervous. I wonder if he could have been a second driver- maybe not knowing what Brothers had planned. "Thanks bro, for dragging me into your quadruple homicide."
