Tuesday brings another round of testimony in the Ryan Patterson murder trial. Patterson is charged with the murder of Jamie Orman, her unborn son, and her 15-year-old son Derrick.

The murders occurred in October of 2009.

Patterson is accused of being the gunman in what prosecutors call a murder plot for insurance money that hit a snag. Two others, Michelle Lawrence, and Samuel 'Ray Ray' Hughes also face charges in connection with the triple murder. Patterson remains the only one of the three suspects to enter a not guilty plea.

As of 2:15 p.m., Samuel 'Ray Ray' Hughes, the alleged lookout man took the stand. He told the jury he originally lived in Arkansas and moved to Missouri with his wife. Hughes said during testimony, Ryan Patterson asked him if he wanted to 'hit a lick.' Hughes said it was a phrase he took to mean 'commit burglary.' Hughes indicated he told Patterson he would go with him.

Auction of old Cape Girardeau federal courthouse continues

Submitted by KFVS Web Staff
Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011, 3:56pm

The auction of Cape Girardeau's old federal building continues.

Bidding was supposed to end Tuesday afternoon, but someone entered a bid just before the close of the auction.

The rules of the auction state that the bidding continue for 24 hours after the last bid, so the bidding remains open.

The current high-bid is about $226,000.

The federal government had hoped some one would pay about $900,000 for the building.

Submitted by KFVS Web Staff
Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011, 2:57am

Opening arguments are over and several witnesses have been called to the stand in the trial of a Cape Girardeau man charged in a triple murder.

Ryan Patterson is accused in the October 2009 shooting deaths of Jamie Orman, her son Derrick, and her unborn son.

Jurors were selected in Pemiscot County and brought to Jackson to hear Patterson's case.  The jury is made up of 11 women and three men.

The two other people charged in the case, Michelle Lawrence and Samuel "Ray-Ray" Hughes, both pleaded guilty and are scheduled to testify in Patterson's trial.

Prosecutors told the jury in opening arguments Monday that they will hear a story of a marriage gone bad and a conspiracy between Lawrence and Patterson to kill her estranged husband for money.

Attorneys for Patterson say the jury will hear a much different version, simply a burglary gone bad.
