FAIRMONT — According to testimony delivered by a Marion County sheriff’s deputy Tuesday, 21-year-old Jason Clay Anderson showed “no emotion” while answering questions just hours after his infant son was pronounced dead on the afternoon of June 23, 2007.
But if Anderson’s defense team has its way, the statements made by Anderson during this questioning process will not be brought to light during his upcoming murder trial in Marion County Circuit Court.
Anderson, a Farmington resident, stands accused of first-degree murder for the 2007 death of his 11-week-old son, Jason Clay Clark Anderson Jr. He is set to go to trial on April 7 and was in court Tuesday for a pretrial hearing to determine the admissibility of several pieces of evidence.
