Testimony began in the trial of the man charged in the brutal killing of Brittani Young.
It was an emotional day at the Cleveland County Courthouse as Young’s mother and friend testified, reliving the day of the slaying in 2018.
Cleveland County prosecutors said Joseph Alliniece stomped on Young s head until she died.
The defense didn t deny he was responsible.
Instead Alliniece s lawyers claimed their client lost control, killing Young in a fit of rage.
Prosecutors called five witnesses.
Kelly Nipper was one. She spent time with Young and Alliniece hours before Young was murdered.
Nipper said the couple argued a little bit and she didn’t think anything bad would happen when she left for her doctors appointment.
Several Norman citizens said they’re concerned about a lack of transparency after Cleveland County commissioners voted 2-1 to dissolve the county’s budget board in a Feb. 22 meeting.
Elmer O Boyle believes it s easy to forget the sacrifices police officers make on the public s behalf.
He wants to make sure that s not the case for two Kings Mountain police officers injured in the line of duty over the past year. They need to see that the community is behind them and that we ve got their back, O Boyle. We don t want them to ever feel like they ve been forgotten.
That s why officers and first responders will eat their fill for free at O Boyle s Back the Blue Cookout from noon to 6 p.m. on Saturday in front of the Cleveland County Courthouse, located at 100 Justice Place in Shelby. O Boyle said a collection of tasty backyard eats will be on the menu, including hamburgers, hot dogs, free drinks and nachos.
