UPDATE: Wednesday @ 3:30pm

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ)-- The defense has rested its case in the murder trial of two brothers charged with killing Deanna Crawford.

The defense did not call any witnesses. The prosecution rested its case shortly before noon.

Prosecutors and the attorneys for Nathaniel & Phillip Barnett then met with Judge Cummings in his chambers to discuss jury instructions.

Closing arguments are now underway. The defense says Dement lied about the Barnett brothers role in the crime so he could make a plea deal.

Prosecutor Chris Chiles says the jury needs to use reason & common sense. He says Dement told truth today under oath.

UPDATE: Wednesday @ 12:00pm
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- The trial for two brothers charged with the murder of Deanna Crawford continues Wednesday with a co-defendant on the witness stand.

25-year-old Nathaniel Barnett, and 28-year-old Phillip Barnett are the last two suspects to go on trial for Crawford’s death.

Crawford was found dead along a secluded road in Salt Rock in August 2002. Investigators say she had been beaten and strangled to death.

Earlier this year, Brian Dement got a 30 year sentence after pleading guilty to 2nd degree murder for his role in the crime. Wednesday morning, he is testifying as a prosecution witness against the brothers.

He told the court that he dragged Crawford out of the car, took her down a hill into some brush and hit her; but it was the Barnett brothers and another co-defendant, Justin Black, who beat and strangled her.

Black was sentenced to 40 years in prison after being convicted of 2nd degree murder earlier this summer.

Following Dements's testimony the prosecution rested its case. The defense expects to begin its case Wednesday afternoon.

The trial is taking place in Cabell County Circuit Court. It is expect to last through Thursday.

To all who believe these 4 defendants are innocent you all are very delusional.Deanna was my friend she wasn't a saint but who among us are? She made some real bad choices while she was on this planet but They had NO RIGHTS to attack and murder her in cold blood then leave her by a road like a piece of trash. Deanna was my friend,a mother to a beautiful little boy who will now have to live his life without her. Never knowing her how do you think he feels inside? Some of you say Justice was served and that her family and friends believe it is finally over you are DEAD wrong. These savages got 30 years and 40 years sentences but we got far worst:We were given life sentences by their selfish choices and actions in August'02. Oh sure they will be locked away that isn't real justice. FYI their families will be able to visit them every weekend,Talk to them on the phones get letters, hug them share holidays and events with them. While all we have is our memories,her son and a cold tombstone

Are you people serious? Ive known all 3 of these boys for years and i know for a fact they are straight up trouble. So glad to know they are no longer on the streets and able to harm anyone else. I hope that they all have to serve the full time because they arent worthy of being out. ALSO, their families are nothing but a ring of thieves .
Posted by: anon on Aug 28, 2008 at 05:28 PM
It dosen't matter why! Ask Justin Black's mom why!! She knows!!
Posted by: Jeff on Aug 28, 2008 at 03:36 PM
I think justice has been served. My question is where were the Crawford parents when Deanna got involved ith prostitution and drugs??? Maybe none of this would have happened if they had tried to get help for there daughter. Do not get me wrong, this is a terrible thing but think of what the parents could have done to help prevent this from happening to her. Tough love is hard to give but all parents should think about these things and try and reach out to children who seem to be heading down the wrong road.

to Just a Reader: Im fully aware there were other parties involved. I have followed this case since they found her body. I spoke with DeAnna 2 weeks before this horrible act took place. I was pulled over by HPD thinking I was trying to get with a pro, which I then told him I had went to HS with her and they didnt know her as DeAnna. Anyways, HPD didnt think of her as a Saint but when an unjust murder occurs the victim is no longer who they were before. The brothers and Justin and Brian, hopefully, will eventually come forward and spill the beans on the motivation or at least what provoked the act. So Actually the readers are right, this is injustice because we still dont know the why? Prosecutors are there to convict...If the Barnett family really wants to help their sons, then they should make a deal with prosecutors on giving the why....Other than that, the only thing I can say is RIP DEANNA. WE WILL ALWAYS MISS U & LOVE YOU!!!!! I HOPE YOUR WATCHING FROM ABOVE ANGEL.....
Posted by: anon on Aug 28, 2008 at 10:33 AM
For the lady who says they are not guilty.GET REAl!!! Everyone has known since this happened that they helped do this. I just can't believe it took them this long to arrest them! Everyone also knows what they were doing at Justin Black's mothers house and that they all deserve life in prison!! AWWW the poor murders
Posted by: They are not murderers on Aug 28, 2008 at 09:05 AM
i grew up with Justin and the Barnett boys and they WOULDNT hurt a female...i always felt safe around then and i wouldnt put anything past that Brian kid...he is bad news and the bad seed....i heart goes out to Justin, Muffy, and Phillip...they are good boys and its just not fair they are going to jail for something someone else has said....its pitaful....justice was not served....Heaven help the ones who have lied....
Posted by: Anonymous on Aug 28, 2008 at 08:07 AM
Justice was NOT served. The Crawford family and the public can be satisfied with the fact they "think" the crime has been solved, but I know better. The Barnetts ARE innocent. I just hope someone cares enough to keep digging for the truth instead of settling for this verdict that was unjust. There was no physical evidence whatsoever. There was no consistency in the witnesseses as to details. The only consistency in the courtroom was the obvious lies of Brian Dement. No one is safe when someone can be sent to prison on someone's say-so. Does anyone care enough to keep this case open, because Deanna knows and God knows this case is unsolved regardless of what the court and public think just because a verdict was rendered. The Barnetts and other innocent people need our help that get sent to prison. If anyone knows anything whatsoever that can clear these boys, please get in touch with either the parents or their attorneys Laishley and Conrad.

This lynne on aug,28 at12:03am needs to be in there with these monsters!! I can not believe she could even defend these cowards,read what she says and judge yourself? I can tell you now that I would give anything to be in a cell late at night with these two together!!! We would play a reinactment game but only I would be that girl!!! Things like these don't even deserve to be refered to as men! This other piece of crap that testified on them tried to hold up to his image of being a liar , he gave 3 different statements trying to hide his own involvement,that is how we know he has told the truth cause the only thing that never changed was the involvement of the two fat boys wobbleing into court!!This poor girl made a bad judgement to go anywhere with them two guys but she didn't deserve to die !!I personally will write the parole board everytime these two come up for parole and I think for everyones own family saftey you all better do the same!!!!
Posted by: Just Dumb on Aug 28, 2008 at 12:39 AM
You people are worried about what they said about someone hitting a camera. Get real a mother lost her daughter in a unthinkable way. All parties in this case deserve to die the same way.. just like the yeager case and the other woman after her murdered. take all these men and one woman out to pullman square let us take care of them.Justice would be done
Posted by: lynne on Aug 28, 2008 at 12:03 AM
I can't believe these brothers were found guilty. There was no evidence! What's wrong with our justice system? Scott and Nathan were found guilty by testomony given by a known lier. I have known these brothers since they were kids and I don't believe they are killers.Shame on the justice system. I hope they can appeal this verdict and then maybe they can get a fair trial. I do have sympathy for the Crawford family but sending innocent people to prison will not bring closure of any kind to anybody.

Criminal Defense 101. Call character witness and take the stand in your own defense. What was there attorney thinking. They didn't offer a defense. This one will be back on Appeal. Ineffective assistance of counsel.
Posted by: MeMe on Aug 27, 2008 at 10:41 PM
The girl you all are talking about, if it's the one I'm thinking about, her name was Angela Schneider, she was a friend of mine, and her murder is still, to this day, unsolved; and it has been at least 6 or more years. I went to school with Philip Barnett, and he is one bad seed! Always into fights, not only with students, but verbal fights with administration, and was constantly being called to the principals office, being suspended on almost a monthly basis. It's really sad to say, that we all should have seen this coming from him. However, I do pray for these guys. I pray that God will open their hearts and release the evil. And they should all 4 know, that what punishment they don't receive here on earth, will be extended into the afterlife. I pray for Deanna's family to know that God will assure justice is served! I am so sorry for the disregard of life that these boys have shown. My heart and prayers go out to Deanna's family and friends.

Nathan did NOT shove your camera away. It was the lady in white, Get the story srtaight. ALSO, all the attention doesnt need to be drawn to the barnett brothers, there were more people involved.
Posted by: just a reader on Aug 27, 2008 at 10:18 PM
thank you ashley, but i think you are forgetting who all were guilty. The brothers werent the only ones.
Posted by: aNoN on Aug 27, 2008 at 10:12 PM
Has anyone else noticed the size discrepencies between these men and Deanna? All of them are more than 200 pounds. I can't begin to imagine the terror Deanna endured. May she finally rest in peace and her family find some comfort that this nightmare is finally at the end of a very long road.
Posted by: Anonymous on Aug 27, 2008 at 09:36 PM
I pray for Deannas family especially for her mother,i know how she feels.Losing a child is the most hurtful and painful thing a mother can go through.
Posted by: Anonymous on Aug 27, 2008 at 08:21 PM
Brian Dement and I were very close and I could'nt Imagine him killing someone soley on his decision or at all.I pray for the family of the lost.I am sorry.

yes anon i do remember the story and yes they were quite a bit alike i dont know abut u but i dont think the barnett boys or justin black are guilty if i can find any info on the other murder i will let you know where you can find it
Posted by: Anon2 on Aug 27, 2008 at 05:41 PM
I don't believe Brian's account of the murder. I just don't see him sitting back and just watching, scared.....really! This guy has a history of beating up on girls. He was the first one to jump on the deal bandwagon. First jumper gets the best deal. Sorry, I just don't.
Posted by: Anon on Aug 27, 2008 at 05:37 PM
Does anybody, besides me, remember the girl they found murdered on the hill behind the hotels on 16th st (Hal Greer) several years ago? Police said that most people didn't know how to get to the place they found her body. Eerily similar, beating death if I remember correctly. I can't find anything about the story. Does anybody remember?
Posted by: Joanne on Aug 27, 2008 at 05:12 PM
Does anyone know why Deanna Crawford was murdered? What the motive was? Thanks. No where in the story does it reference the reasoning of the individuals responsible. I can't imagine the terror this young woman endured before dying.
Posted by: Ashley on Aug 27, 2008 at 03:59 PM
RIP Deanna...How could you listen to her scream and grunt, then check her pulse and not have a shred of guilt? These brothers deserve the same punishment if not the more! I went to HS w/ Deanna b4 things turned sour for her. She was a great, joyful person..Full of Life and you murderers took that from her and her only living legacy. These boys were so desperate they had to kill a female to feel like a man! Well who's the *itch now, Im glad to know every day in prison youll always have to watch ur backs or become a *itch yourself....

hey does everyone know that Justin Black will be testifying this afternoon!!!!
Posted by: Anonymous on Aug 27, 2008 at 12:32 PM
I THINK THAT IT IS GREAT THAT THEY TRY AND TALK TO THE GUYS. THE NEWS IS ONLY ASKING QUESTIONS. DID THE GUYS STOP WHEN DEANNA ASKED THEM TO.
Posted by: anonymous on Aug 27, 2008 at 12:29 PM
Hey can you report your reports right I did not see Nathan's Hand on your camera the woman walking in front punched your camera I think camera should not be in the courthouse at all
Posted by: Anonymous on Aug 25, 2008 at 06:11 PM
MAYBE THERE WILL NOT BE ANY DELAYS THIS TIME SO THAT THE FAMILY CAN HAVE SOME TYPE OF CLOSURE.
Posted by: Darrell on Aug 25, 2008 at 03:02 PM
Do you honestly think these men are going to talk to you and anwer you nosy polls. You will find out what the outcome is when court is over. Quit begging for a story.

  • Posted By: Christian not offended: Thank you g, I'm glad there is someone else who understands the HOLIDAY meaning to HAPPY HOLIDAYS. If that offends some of you, then maybe you should leave town. This is a FREE country, not a communist one. HAPPY >>>insert holiday here<<< There is that less offending to you?

  • Posted By: drsenile: Well, I just attempted to submit a comment and it disappeared. And no, it wasn't my computer. My basic problem with this site...too much glitz, not enough substance; slow to load information; and, it appears none of the WSAZ staff ever read much of what's here and it might actually improve.

  • Posted By: drsenile: I realize I live in the ultra-exclusive suburb of Milton, but I am curious as to the reason gas prices (for one) are consistently higher than our less fortunate neighbors (like Huntington). As of tonight, there is still a 16 cents per gallon differential between Milton and Huntington (and we are NOT lower). I guess we are helping to pay for improvements to the mayors pet projects.
  • Posted By: Paul: Your new web page is greate, Your local and national coverage is so much easier to surf. You will have critics out there, but any change that is new will not be accepted for a while, this is common for the region that we live in. Keep up the good work WSAZ. Please excuse some of my spelling)
  • Posted By: Taxpayer: At least one Senator has put a secret hold on the nomination of Neil Barofsky to be appointed Inspector General to oversee the $700 billion Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP). It is not clear why the lawmaker is holding up the nomination. Mr. Barofsky appears to be eminently qualified for the Inspector General position, and whether you support the bailout or not, all taxpayers have an interest in making sure every dime is spent appropriately and not subjected to waste, fraud or abuse. Please call the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 to connect with your Senator's office and find out whether they are responsible for holding up this nomination of the watchdog for the massive bailout package.
  • Posted By: Jennifer: To Volley Mom, yes that's true about life in general but we're talking about a web page, come on. It's not THAT important.
  • Posted By: L.: A little feedback on the site redesign; I like the layout, but it's very crowded and cluttered. I browse the site frequently on my iPhone and I have great difficulty doing that with the new layout - I can't scroll using the touchscreen because all of the columns are crowded together and when I try to scroll I end up clicking on something.
  • Posted By: : I DO NOT LIKE THE NEW PAGE. THE OLD PAGE WAS SO MUCH BETTER!!!
  • Posted By: Melinda: THE ONLY THING THAT NEEDS FIXED ON YOUR NEW WEB SITE IS THE VIEWING OF THE VIDEOS LIKE YOU HAVE GOING ON AROUND THE WORLD I HAVE A POP UP BLOCKER THAT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO VIEW IT AND BEFORE IT NEVER STOPPED ME.

  • Posted By: Volley Mom: The only thing in life consistent is change. We all need change to keep life interesting. Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% how you deal with it. Learn to deal with things in life a little better. I happen to like the new site.

  • Posted By: Buckeye: I like the new site. Just get sick of seeing the shaking "classmate.com" advertisement. But, they pay a bill I'm sure.

  • Posted By: ann: love the new site
  • Posted By: Jennifer: I don't like the new page either, I know change is something you have to get used to but....just my opinion.
  • Posted By: IdiotsUAre: The United States of America was founded under God! The creator of this earth, the father of our Savior Jesus Christ. He is why we even have Christmas. So say Christmas an not holidays! If you want to say holidays then go to another county or even California it might as be its own.
  • Posted By: yuck: I don't like change, please go back to the other website.
  • Posted By: Bob: WSAZ, Why are you linking to WOWK headlines on your website? Even linking to the Daily Mail, Gazette, and H-D isn't smart - because in the online world, they're even more of a competitor to you.
  • Posted By: Bob: Someone could be shopping for Hanukkah gifts. Read a book other than just the Bible.
  • Posted By: BibleThumpers: It's actually a pagan festival for the Winter Solstice. The Christians adopted it as Christ's birthday later on and even adopted many of the pagan items, such as putting up a tree and having a great feast.
  • Posted By: g: it is the stupidest thing I have ever heard, to be offended by the word "Holiday", this all comes from you bible thumpers that all want to tell other people how to think and what to say. You offend me! This is the Holidays! Even 50 years ago before all this ridiculous crap started, cards said Happy Holidays, because it covered Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's, it is the Holiday Season! So Season's Greetings and Happy Holidays Y'all!
  • Posted By: to Lady A:: The "holiday" season also encompasses Hanukkah, a major holiday for those of us who follow the Jewish faith. We also give gifts and do "holiday" shopping this season; thankfully WSAZ is less ignorant than you are and recognizes that their viewership reflects more than one faith.
  • Posted By: to Lady A: FYI, Hanukah is also coming up and we of the jewish faith also exchange gifts during this HOLIDAY season. I, for one, am thankful that WSAZ considers all of their viewers. Your comment was incredibly ignorant.
  • Posted By: What the heck: I agree with Pat, I'm not liking the new page AT ALL.
  • Posted By: Christian not offended: Ok there Lady A, just slow down a minute. Huntingtonian made a good point. Have you ever heard of Hanukah? Some people shop for Hanukah. Jesus was Jewish, so don't tell me that being a Jew is a sin, & Christmas is THE ONLY HOLIDAY this time of year. Yes, I too love to hear MERRY CHRISTMAS, but I refuse to become upset when someone says happy holidays. How do you know if when you say MERRY CHRISTMAS to someone, your not saying it to a Jewish person? Do you ever hear them make a big fat stink about it? NO!!!, you don't. So I think you should just be happy that God has given you another day on this Earth. So that you have the time to celebrate, with your family, whatever holiday you choose. I've decided to say HAPPY MERRY KWANZ~MA~KA that way I've covered them all.
  • Posted By: Pat: Much like New Coke and the new Marco I think you've made a mistake with the new web pagedesign. I don't use Yahoo because the site is too cluttered and I feel the same about your new page. More is not necessarily better!
  • Posted By: Ari: It is CHRISTMAS it is the time we celebrate Christ being born, not Kwanzza or Hanukah. Kwanzza is racist anyways it's a celebration of being black. I have no problem with people saying Happy whatever it is but I am NOT going to watch what i say and not say Marry Christmas becasue it might offend people
  • Posted By: LadyA`: The question was, Did you do any Holiday shopping over the weekend? The shopping they were referring was Christmas shopping. What other holiday shopping would we be doing? Thanksgiving was over. It offended me like many others. It is the Christmas season and I want to see the word Christmas used, not holiday or xmas.
  • Posted By: Huntingtonian: I agree with Anonymous!! It is the "holiday season" and by definition, it encompasses all of the holidays that are coming, not just Christmas. I also am a christian and see something inherintly wrong with pigeon holing this time of year to simply "Merry Christmas." What I find really offensive is those of you who believe that it is ok to say "Christmas" but would be outraged if "Happy Kwanza" or "Happy Hanukah" appeared anywhere. So, that being said: HAPPY HOLIDAYS and a JOYOUS NEW YEAR to all!!
  • Posted By: : Holiday is in referance to ALL holidays this time of year. I have been saying Happy Holidays since I was a kid, growing up during the 80's. Christmas is not the only holiday this time of year. We did just celebrate Thanksgiving, remember. I am a Christian, that is not offended by the phrase HAPPY HOLIDAYS.
  • Posted By: ann: I agree with ladyA its CHRISTMAS
  • Posted By: LadyA: WSAZ- Could you please change the word Holiday to Christmas on your question? The word Holiday offends me.
  • Posted By: mad: To the doofus deer hunter who knocked my mailbox over on gritt rd if you cant drive any better than that you shouldnt have a GUN and thanks for letting us know you smashed the mailbox. MERRY CHRISTMAS DOOFUS
