Trial of man accused of killing Scottsdale woman resumes
The trial of a man accused of the 2015 murder of a Scottsdale woman is getting back underway after a lengthy holiday break.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - The trial of a man accused of killing a Scottsdale woman over a decade ago resumed on Monday.
After more than a two-week break, Ian Mitcham returned to court on Jan. 5.
The backstory:
Mitcham is charged with the 2015 killing of Feldman, who was found dead inside her home.
The case is the first time familial DNA has been used to connect a suspect to a murder in Arizona.
Despite what prosecutors say is a mountain of forensic evidence linking Mitcham to the crime, the motive for the killing is unknown. The defense claims Mitcham didn't know Feldman and that a local pharmacist is responsible for her death.
