MIAMI -- MIAMI (AP) — A woman whose husband fatally shot her and posted pictures of her corpse on Facebook was likely cowering and trying to defend herself before she was killed, a police detective testified Tuesday.
The hearing testimony by Miami-Dade Detective Jonathan Grossman could undercut 31-year-old Derek Medina's claim that he shot his wife, 26-year-old Jennifer Alonso, in self-defense while she viciously attacked him at their South Miami home.
Grossman said an autopsy and the position of Alonso's body indicates she was on her knees with one arm raised in front of her face when she was shot Aug. 8 during an argument. The trajectories of the 380-caliber bullets indicate they were fired from above her, he added.
"The victim was very low to the ground at the time she was shot," Grossman testified. "The victim appeared to be in a cowering position." read more
