It has been a full day of witness testimony for the jury of 14, in the Ronnie Hyde trial.

Hyde is the man accused of murdering 16-year-old Fred Laster, and dumping his “dismembered torso” in Columbia County in June 1994.He’s been indicted on a first-degree murder charge.

Assistant State Attorney Alan Mizrahi, one half of the prosecution team, explained the Laster Family was going through trouble and Hyde provided help and a safe space for them. To give more context about the closeness of the relationship between Hyde and the Laster Family, Mizrahi explained that it was a normal occurrence for the family to spend the night at Hyde’s home.

According to retired Columbia County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Brian Rix, the dismembered torso was discovered by a woman who was walking her dog in the parking lot at what used to be the BP Station US Highway 441 North and I-10 in Lake City.
