BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - The last witness of day two in the Kenneth Gleason trial was very adamant Gleason did not kill Bruce Cofield.
Jacques Landry, the owner of the now-defunct Posh Chic hair salon near the corner of N. Acadian and Florida pointed at Kenneth Gleason and said the gunman who killed Cofield looked nothing like him.
It was a bizarre twist on a day in which prosecutors laid the groundwork for their case against Gleason. Gleason is charged with two counts of first degree murder for the killings of Cofield and Donald Smart.
