WASHINGTON — Jurors in the murder trial of the Maryland man accused of killing three members of a D.C. family and their housekeeper in 2015 were shown a graphic photo of the youngest victim as the trial neared the end of its second full week.
It was the first time a photo of one of the victims has been shown during the trial of 37-year-old Daron Wint, who’s charged with killing Savvas and Amy Savopoulos; their 10-year-old son, Philip; and the family’s housekeeper, Vera Figueroa, in May 2015.
Wint’s team of public defenders objected to the use of the photo of the 10-year-old boy’s badly burned body, calling it “graphic and disturbing.”
“The only purpose is to inflame the passions of the jury,” defense attorney Judy Pipe argued outside the presence of the jury.
The details are pretty awful
