A Los Angeles man, Anthony Duwayne Turner, is on trial for the murder, rape, and burglary of 48-year-old Michelle Avan. Prosecutor Cindy Lee Wallace portrayed Turner as a violent abuser hidden behind a charming exterior, responsible for Avan's brutal death. Evidence includes DNA linking him to the crime scene and a text message from Turner expressing feelings of disrespect due to Avan's actions. In his defense, Turner claimed he visited Avan to end their relationship, insisting she was still alive when he left her home the following morning, contrary to prosecutor assertions.
Prosecutor Cindy Lee Wallace stated that while Anthony Duwayne Turner appears calm and polished, he possesses a much darker side that is violent and controlling. Wallace characterized Turner as an abuser who raped and murdered Michelle Avan after arriving at her home unannounced, supported by DNA evidence found at the crime scene.
Turner testified that he arrived at Michelle Avan's home unannounced to end their relationship, claiming she was alive when he left the residence early the next morning. However, evidence presented during the trial contradicted his account, with prosecutor Wallace emphasizing the nature of their exchange leading up to the tragic event.
