Trial, Day 3: Murder suspect won't testify; closing arguments expected today Bradley Robert Quillen Wednesday Mar 1, 2017 at 12:46 PM Mar 1, 2017 at 12:49 PM Nick Morgan Mail Tribune @mtcrimebeat Bradley Robert Quillen, on trial for murder, won't be testifying in court. As witness testimony came to a close on the third day of Quillen's trial Wednesday, he told Circuit Court Judge Patricia Crain he declined to testify on the advice of his lawyers. Wednesday morning testimony from Deputy State Medical Examiner Dr. James Olson, who oversaw the autopsy at the Oregon State Police Central Point morgue, said the gunshot that killed Miguel Angel Delfin, 23, hit the victim in the arm and traveled to his heart. Olson testified that no soot or gunpowder particles were found on Delfin's body or the clothes he was wearing, a white tank undershirt and pajama pants, indicating Delfin was shot from a distance. Quillen has claimed he killed Delfin in self defense. "It had all the features of a distant wound," Olson said. Delfin's mother, Belinda McCurdy, watched intently as Olson used autopsy photos illustrating that the .22-caliber bullet entered Delfin's arm, piercing only the biceps muscle, before continuing though his rib cage, through his heart and ultimately stopping at his right lung. Quillen, 27, averted his gaze during Olson's testimony. Three blood and two urine samples from Delfin showed he had used methamphetamine hours before the shooting, in an amount Olson estimated to be a "standard recreational level," along with marijuana. A glass marijuana pipe was found in Delfin's pocket.  During cross-examination, defense lawyer Christine Herbert, brought out a rock Delfin had on him and asked whether Olson had seen homicides involving similar weapons. Olson said he'd seen homicides caused from blunt force trauma, but not from a thrown rock; however, Olson said that contusions and skull fractures can occur from a thrown rock. "The potential for lethal injury, or certainly significant injury, exists," Olson said. Audio and video forensic analyst Alan Combs provided surveillance footage taken from a nearby Human Bean coffee stand. The clearest image of Delfin's final moments was low resolution, however, taken from the top right-hand corner of a camera focused on the business. The footage seems to show Delfin moving closer to Quillen and witness Adrian Rodriguez, who was with Quillen at the time of the altercation. But when Deputy District Attorney Virginia Greer asked whether the footage could show whether the suspect was actually moving closer or farther from the camera, as well as side-to-side, Combs said the camera was too far away and the images too pixelated to make such estimates. "It would just be a guess," Combs said. Closing arguments are set to begin at 1:30 p.m. today. — Reach reporter Nick Morgan at 541-776-4471 or [email protected]. Follow him on Twitter at @MTCrimeBeat.
