Jefferson County deputy district attorneys Ashley Patterson and Jessica Hebson are prosecuting the case.The courtroom was packed throughout the week with about 1 ½ dozen family members each of Washington and Stephens. Stephens calmly and confidently testified for roughly 1 ½ hours Friday, the final witness to take the stand in the week-long trial.

Stephens said he gave Moultrie the $90 in 20s and some fives, though Moultrie had said he gave him a counterfeit $100 bill. The AirPods, according to testimony, were indeed the fake devices from China. Stephens testified that his gun – a Ruger AR pistol – was in the backseat during the incident.

Stephens said then head back to his mother’s house, tossing the AR pistol out of his car somewhere near Green Springs. Asked why he got rid of the gun, he said, ‘’I had just shot at somebody.”
