Swanson trial underway

During the first day of testimony at the Michael Swanson trial, a witness testified he pointed a 40-caliber handgun about two feet from the face of a convenience store clerk and pulled the trigger. A defense attorney argued during opening statements Monday that Swanson has never known right from wrong and was legally insane when Sheila Myers was killed. Swanson faces life in prison without parole if convicted. He'll stand trial in the death of another convenience store clerk, Vicky Bowman-Hall, in July.
