Yoga instructor Kaitlin Armstrong is currently on trial in Austin for the killing of professional cyclist Anna Moriah Wilson. The prosecution argues that Armstrong killed Wilson over their shared affection for Colin Strickland, the boyfriend of both women.
Medical examiner Bernadette Derussy testified that Wilson sustained severe injuries prior to her death. Graphic images of Wilson’s autopsy showed that she suffered multiple gunshot wounds, including one to her heart and another to her jaw. The medical examiner explained that the evidence suggests that Wilson was likely defending herself at the time of the attack.
Forensic scientist Alejandra Gil presented DNA evidence linking Armstrong and Strickland to the crime scene. Additionally, sheriff’s officer Rosalba Johnson recounted Armstrong’s attempted escape from prison, demonstrating the severe nature of the case.
As the trial unfolds, a clearer picture of the ‘love triangle’ between Armstrong, Strickland, and Wilson is beginning to emerge. Armstrong’s friends have testified that she made death threats against Wilson after discovering her relationship with Strickland. Strickland, on the other hand, insists that his relationship with Wilson was only platonic.
Wilson, a rising star in the cycling world, had recently achieved significant victories before her tragic death. Despite Strickland’s claims of a platonic relationship with Wilson, text messages from Wilson indicate that she believed their relationship was more than friends.
The case has garnered significant media and public attention due to its salacious and complex nature. The unfolding details of this case continue to captivate and baffle those following the trial.
