Marlon Duane Kiser testifying
A post-conviction hearing in which Marlon Duane Kiser is seeking a new trial in the 2001 slaying of Deputy Donald Bond will resume April 6.
Attorneys for Kiser, who is on Death Row, said they have additional witnesses to call.
Kiser on Tuesday took the witness stand for the first time, blaming the killing on the man he was living with at the time - Mike Chattin. Chattin, who was cleared by police and who closely cooperated with officers, has since died.
Kiser said he was "framed" by Chattin.
The defense also said a new trial should be granted based on an alleged affair between the judge who presided over the trial, the late Steve Bevil, and a member of the district attorney's staff assigned to that division.
