(WOLO) COLUMBIA,S.C., — 05:13:13 “i’m ready to talk back with them people and tell them the truth ma.” Whatever truth suspect Trenton Barnes was not able to tell police initially – his words – read aloud in a packed courtroom did according to prosecutors. All the while – one of the co -defendants Lorezno Young caught on camera smirking during portions of the trial. That was until Agent Heath with SLED took the stand. Reading an alleged confession by Trenton Barnes that gives a timeline for what he says really happened. Including claims he only implicated his – own brother Troy Stevenson in the crime because he was afraid of going to jail with third suspect – Lorenzo Young alone. ” tell them troy ain’t had nothing to do with it. i should have told them troy really came down here to get me.” Mother of two of the suspects – Latoya Barnes testified that she remembered all three boys being at her house until around midnight. All wearing the same color hooded sweatshirts seen in this surveillance video recorded during the time of the crime. What she couldn’t do however was identify them as the same young men or say what happened after midnight. But according to the letter Barnes says he followed Youngs lead going into the bakery where mother of 4 Kelly Hunnewell was working – after the first location they went to was closed. 05:17:18 ” Lorenzo walked into the place and i went behind him then he grabbed her and put the gun to her head. he told me to get in front of her and she swung at me.” Day three of the trial resumes Friday morning.
