A foster mother testifying in the trial of a Washington state couple accused of abusing their adopted Ethiopian daughter to death told the jury Wednesday that their other son was rail-thin and covered in scratches when she took him in.
The testimony from Sheila Jackson came on day 18 of the murder trial of Larry and Carri Williams, from Sedro-Woolley -- a town about halfway between Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia.
The couple allegedly left their 13-year-old adopted daughter, Hana, to starve and die in the cold in May 2011 after brutally punishing her and her step-brother, Immanuel.
