In total, 41 witnesses would be called to the stand during the trial. Many were, of course, law enforcement who had worked diligently on the case, but others were people with direct knowledge of Marcus Anderson and Kyson Rice. No matter their background, great care was taken to make all witnesses feel comfortable. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK: “Judge Goodman was excellent at making a witness feel at ease. Each witness was not allowed to be in the courtroom until after he or she had testified. Even though the jury and those attending the trial hear the same mini sermon as each witness is being called to the stand, it is new stuff to the one testifying.” The first witness called by the prosecution was John Glynn, Kyson Rice’s great uncle.

The jury was treated with great care throughout the trial …. Excerpt from the book: The jury was brought in at 8:47 a.m. on March 29, 2022 and sworn in by the clerk. The Court made a seating chart. Judge Goodman read a set of instructions and told them that a set of written instructions would be given to them in the deliberation room. The jury will not be sequestered, but Judge Goodman admonished the 14-person jury to not discuss the case, nor view any social media, or any news reports of the trial proceedings or any computer accounts of the trial. He said, “Do not speak to the lawyers, witnesses, or family members. Do not investigate the case or visit the scene of the crime. You can talk to anyone about the trial after the trial is over. You may take notes except during the opening and closing arguments, but don’t let note taking distract you from carefully listening to and observing the witnesses. You may use the notes during deliberation. After the trial, the notes will be collected and destroyed. You will not have access to the transcript during deliberations, but you can ask to have portions of the testimony read back to you.”

My publisher urges me to blog every three days about the book, Murder in a Small Town: The Kyson Rice Case. Release date is May 1. We are having a Book Launch gathering at Taphouse Twenty on May 1 from 5-7 pm. Kyson would be six years old and in First Grade. His story needs to be told. Domestic and child abuse should not be happening, but sadly, it is.

The police work on this case was first rate, detailed and methodical at every step. Here the Tomah Police nd Monroe County Sheriff’s Department work together to apprehend the suspect Marcus Anderson on Superior Avenue in Tomah the day of the murder.
