One of two men on trial for the 2019 kidnapping and killing of a north Minneapolis woman testified Thursday that he was not involved in the crime and instead spent that time selling drugs.
Cedric Berry, 42, testified for about two hours, providing some details about his whereabouts the day Monique Baugh was killed, but also leaving gaps that invited scrutiny from prosecutors. Berry also testified that he bought the cellphone used to lure Baugh, a real estate agent, to a fake home showing in Maple Grove where she was kidnapped, arranged to rent a U-Haul truck that was used to move her and was with two other suspects in the days leading up to her Dec. 31 death.
