The retrial of a man charged with killing 18 older women in the Dallas area over a two-year span has begun, after the first jury to hear a case against him deadlocked last fall
Though Chemirmir is only being tried in Harris' death, prosecutor Glen Fitzmartin told jurors during his opening statements that they will also hear evidence that Chemirmir attackedthe day before Harris was killed and that he killed 87-year-old Mary Brooks about six weeks earlier.
Fitzmartin said that after the attack on Bartel, police found that a few days before they had gotten a call about a suspicious person at the independent living center where she lived and the license plate from that report led officers to Chemirmir. Fitzmartin said evidence will show that Chemirmir listed jewelry that belonged to Bartel and Brooks on an online selling site. He said that Brooks and Chemirmir were also at the same Walmart prior to her death.As in the first trial, jurors on Monday were shown a taped deposition with Bartel, who died in 2020. She said that on the day she was attacked, she'd opened her door after hearing an “insistent" knocking and immediately fixated on green rubber gloves the person was wearing.
