Witnesses Admit to Assault on Ed Wilson


Testimony is schedueld to resume today at the second degree murder trial of Kenneth Ivall and Angela Duchesne.

One of the people who intiated the assault on Ed Wilson the morning of March 21st, 2009 was on the
stand yesterday.

Matt Bruce says he went to the Tower Motel with a couple of friends and had a beer before deciding
to leave.

As he exited the building, he noticed a man slap Angela Duchesne hard across the face.

Bruce says Wilson seemed to grabbing onto the woman and was worried the situation was
going to escalate, so he punched Wilson in the face.

After that, he says a friend of his escorted Wilson away, down the west side of the motel.

He says at that point, Wilson appeared to stumble and fell on the ground.

As he was trying to get up, Bruce says someone else came in and gave a soccer-style kick
to Wilson's head.

He says the kick seemed to knock-out Wilson.

He says he didn't hear about Wilson's death until the next evening when police came to interview him
