David Brossard looks towards family members as he enters a Walworth County courtroom Wednesday. Brossard is on trial for killing his wife, Dawn.
ELKHORN -- Without more evidence and without seeing where Dawn Brossard died, it is difficult to evaluate many aspects of her murder, a defense expert testified this morning.
“The less physical evidence, the more of a hypothetical you have. You speculate what happened,” psychologist and former police officer Dr. John H. White Jr. said.
White was called to testify to refute suspect analysis and assertions about “overkill” made by former FBI analyst Mark Safarik, who testified last week for the prosecution.
White testified that he could not label the State Financial Bank parking lot in Burlington, where Dawn was last scene, a crime scene. Without evidence, White wasn’t even sure investigators could properly conclude that Dawn Brossard was taken from the parking lot.
“There’s really nothing, nothing physical anyway, to suggest the offender took her from the bank parking lot. It’s speculation. We just don’t know,” White said.
