It was Roger Yale who started the fight that ended with his death, alleged murderer Gearold Sotolongo testified when he took the stand Tuesday in his own defense.
Prosecutors in the murder trial of Gearold Sotolongo will have to call at least one more witness to address new evidence that victim Roger Yale had a knife in his back pocket when Sotolongo allegedly stabbed him in the heart.
An eyewitness to the fatal knifing of Roger Yale testified yesterday she watched suspect Gearold Sotolongo make stabbing motions as the two men scuffled, then saw a puncture wound in Yale’s upper left chest.
