Opening Statements Given In Trial For Monroe County Man Accused Of Killing His Grandfather

Opening statements have been given in the Monroe County trial for a man accused of using an axe to kill his grandfather last year.  Prosecutors played 9-1-1 audio from the day of the attack in court Monday.  Eighty-seven-year-old Bernard Waite was killed and two relatives were seriously injured inside a home in Sparta.  W-K-B-T/T-V reports 37-year-old Thomas Aspseter is charged with first-degree intentional homicide, two counts of attempted first-degree intentional homicide, and two counts of aggravated battery.  The defense isn’t challenging the fact that Aspseter used an axe while committing the crime.
