Jurors heard opening statements and witness testimony Tuesday in the trial of a Catawba County man charged with murder and drunken driving charges after a fatal car wreck last year.
The trial against 21-year-old Enrique Cardenas Zavala started Monday in Catawba County Superior Court with opening statements and testimony by responding officers, said Capt. Clyde Deal of the Hickory Police Department.
Cardenas Zavala is charged in the Sept. 29, 2006 accident in downtown Hickory that killed 55-year-old Rena Moore and critically injured her husband, 58-year-old Jerry Moore.
Cardenas Zavala was indicted on several charges, including felony murder, felony assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, driving while impaired, driving by a person less than 21 years old after consuming alcohol and failure to stop at a stoplight.
