HAGATNA, Guam (AP) — Nearly 170 people are expected to testify in the murder trial of a 22-year-old man charged with killing three Japanese tourists and hurting 11 others during a rampage in a busy tourist area last year, prosecutors and defense lawyers say.
Jury selection began this week in the trial of Chad Ryan DeSoto. Authorities said DeSoto barreled his car down a sidewalk, crashed into a convenience store, then got out and stabbed bystanders — including two infants — during the Feb. 12 rampage that shocked the island U.S. territory. The three tourists killed were Kazuko Uehara, 81, and Rie Sugiyama, 29, who were stabbed to death. Hitoshi Yokota, 51, was hit by a car and died in a hospital two days later.
