Brobst said that McFadden testified before a grand jury that a necklace found at the scene belonged to Wesley Moore and was given to him by her brother. But she recanted at Moore's trial, testifying that she had been pressured by police to say the necklace belonged to Moore.
McFadden's testimony didn't damage the state's case. Jurors were told that McFadden was Moore's girlfriend and a police technician testified that he found Moore's skin cells on the necklace.
After the hearing yesterday, Brobst also prosecuted Moore for violating terms of a 1966 probation by committing the murder.
Court records show that county Circuit Judge J. Norris Byrnes sentenced Moore to four years' supervised probation Sept. 19,1996, after he was convicted of distribution of cocaine for selling a $20 bag of crack cocaine on Tidewater Lane in Chase.
Yesterday, Byrnes sentenced Moore to a concurrent five-year term for violating the law while on probation.
