Whether certain evidence is admissible in the trial of Kimberly Thompson was discussed by the defense and prosecution in court.

Thompson allegedly shot Charles Mayo, on Dec. 10, 2016 in the 1900 block of Bennett Place, NE.

The prosecution began by laying out their witnesses they will call to testify followed by the defense mentioning the witnesses they want to call to testify.

The defense mentioned they were worried about the testimony of a firearms expert and that they needed to be modified.

The prosecution agreed to talk to their firearms expert and then discussed whether or not two guns found in the car of the defendant would be used as evidence. That decision is still yet to be made.

The trial is set for July 10.
