MADISON -- A murder suspect in the death of Norfolk's 29-year-old Hailey Christiansen saw his fourth day of jury trial, Thursday -- while his jury almost saw their last day in court. 

The day began with witness Ciara Wright, a self-proclaimed friend of 30-year-old defendant Deshawn Gleaton Jr. 

"He lied to me," said Wright, answering a question about why she may have ill feelings toward Gleaton. 
 
Wright testified about having seen a gun in the defendant's bag before Christiansen's shooting death. However, that detail had not been noted in her initial reports to former Norfolk Police Investigator Lou Siefker. Attorney Todd Lancaster asked why she kept this information from authorities. He then brought attention to the fact that it was not until preparation for this very trial that Wright decided to divulge the bag evidence to Smith. 
 

"Why did you wait so long?" Lancaster asked. 

"I was just scared," Weight answered.

Other women who knew Gleaton also took the stand. 

Mercedes Vasquez told the jury how Gleaton had admitted to her on the phone when he was in jail, that he had people hide evidence of the alleged murder. 

"He said he had CJ and AJ handle whatever it was -- the gun, I guess," said Vasquez. 

As Smith asked Vasquez what she knew about a bag with a gun in it, Lancaster stood up and asked the judge to dismiss the jury. After a brief discussion and break, Lancaster made a motion for a mistrial. He said Smith had indicated the bag would not be discussed with witnesses and therefore was not prepared. Judge James Kube overruled and kept the topic on record. 

Further witnesses included a Verizon specialist who verified how the telecommunications company gathers data about phone calls (of which Gleaton's phone made many to Christiansen the day of and prior to her death). A later witness with law enforcement explained GPS evidence of where Gleaton and Christiansen's phones were on the night of her death. The data indicated Gleaton's device may have been near Christiansen's residency around 6:30 a.m., minutes before her death. 

The trial is expected to last through Friday and perhaps into next week.
