waynesboro police captain kevin quick. the revealing cell-phone records released today in court. and ... the university of texas at austin announces it will allow handguns in classrooms. what this could mean for students ... next fall. good evening, and thanks for joining us for wsls 10 at eleven. i'm john carlin. and i'm lindsey ward. after 12 days of presenting evidence to a jury, the prosecution rests its case in the murder trial of volunteer police reserve captain kevin quick. tomorrow, the defense will begin its attempt to defend the 4 people charged with killing him. w-s-l-s 10's rob manch joins us live in the newsroom ... with the latest. rob - what kind of evidence did the prosecution bring forward today? today was all about the cell phone evidence that the prosecution says first led police to quick's body. apparently, evidence recovered from one of the defendents, mercedes shelton, led police to goochland county, where quick's body was found. the prosecution says cell phone records from shelton's phone also put her in charlottesville near the turtle creek apartments

cell phone pings from the other three murder suspects, shantai shelton, daniel mathis, and travis bell, also apparently led police to the spot in louisa county where they discovered quick's stolen toyota rav-4. now of course, this is just part of the evidence the defense is going to need to refute. the prosecution has previously brought forward experts from the state crime lab that said fingerprints inside that car matched all four suspects. it has also called forward one witness, leslie casterlow, who said she directly heard the suspects discussing quick's murder, and another witness, jamar rice, who says he heard about the murder through the suspects close acquaintance anthony stokes, who is charged separately with rackateering and obstruction of justice. the picture the prosecution has painted up to this point is one of a gang killing, claiming all of the suspects are members of the 99 goon syndicate. each one of the defendants has their own attorney, and it

several days of trial to change that picture and humanize these accused killers while finding an alternate explanation for the evidence linking them to the crime. in the studio, rob manch, w-s-l-s 10. the university of texas announces it has approved rules ... allowing concealed handgun license holders to bring their weapons into classrooms. the decision was announced by the university's president following a review of the controversial campus carry law. the senate bill was passed last year. it will go into affect august 1- st. in a letter addressed to u-t students ... faculty and staff ... the president says ... while he does not believe handguns belong on campus ... he is obligated to enforce the law. as a professor, as a teacher myself, i don't want guns in classrooms that i would be teaching in, and so i certainly empathize with them. butt to but in the end, as the president of the university, as the head of a state agency, i do have a responsibility to
