Live from the courtroom: Serial Shooter suspect Dale Hausner took the stand this morning for his fifth day of testimony, telling jurors that even if he had no alibi on the nights of the crimes, “the truth” would prove he was innocent.
Maricopa County prosecutor Vince Imbordino has been spending the morning asking Hausner about the early crimes in the Serial Shooter case, trying to establish the his whereabouts during each of the crimes. On many of the occasions, Hausner said his own, handwritten calendar showed he was spending the night with a woman named Marianne Lescher, a principal in the Kyrene School District. The crimes were taking place in Phoenix while Hausner says he was staying the night in Gilbert.
But when Imbordino questioned Hausner’s record keeping, Hausner acknowledged it was possible he was by himself on the nights of the shootings.
“Who besides Marianne Lescher would have been your alibi?” Imbordino asked.
“Myself,” Hausner said. “I would have been at home.”
When Imbordino asked if he had any other proof he was home, Hausner replied: “The truth.”
“You would agree with me that there would be nobody else who can corroborate that, correct?” said Imbordino.
“Correct.”
