VICTIM’S STORY. JOHN. YEAH, YOU’RE RIGHT GUY THAT LOCKETT ACTUALLY STOLE ONE OF THE VICTIM’S GUNS, FORCED HER TO PERFORM ORAL SEX ON HIM AT GUNPOINT AND RECORDED THE WHOLE ENCOUNTER ON HIS CELL PHONE. THE VICTIM’S TEAR FILLED ACCOUNT OF WHAT HAPPENED GAVE THE JURY A VERY POWERFUL INTRODUCTION INTO THE PROSECUTION’S CASE IN INVESTIGATORS ARE CALLING JONATHAN MASTER LOCKETT ONE OF THE WORST SERIAL RAPISTS IN RECENT BIRMINGHAM HISTORY. DURING OPENING STATEMENTS THIS MORNING, PROSECUTOR ISABELLA COLOMBO POINTED RIGHT AT HIM AND TOLD THE JURY FOR 13 MONTHS THAT MAN ATTACKED THOSE FIVE DIFFERENT WOMEN. THE EIGHT SEX CRIMES LOCKETT IS BEING TRIED ON INCLUDE SODOMY, RAPE AND SEXUAL TORTURE. THE PROSECUTORS CLAIM HE USED A STOLEN PISTOL TO SODOMIZE ONE OF HIS VICTIMS, A PISTOL. THEY ARGUE HE POINTED AT VICTIMS TO FORCE THEM TO PERFORM SEX ACTS ON HIM. HOWEVER, HIS ATTORNEY DESCRIBED THE ENCOUNTERS AS CONSENSUAL. JASON WILLITS TOLD THE JURY THAT EACH OF THE VICTIMS WAS A DRUG ADDICT OR PROSTITUTE SEEKING NARCOTICS OR MONEY FROM HIM. HE ARGUED THESE CASES ARE ABOUT WOMEN WHO KNEW PERFECTLY WELL WHAT THEY WERE GETTING INTO. LOCKETT’S FIRST SODOMY VICTIM TOOK THE STAND THIS MORNING. IN TEARS, SHE DESCRIBED HOW WHEN SHE MET HIM IN 2019, LOCKETT STOLE HER PISTOL AND FORCED HER TO PERFORM ORAL SEX ON HIM AT THE END OF A BARREL, SHE TESTIFIED. SO IN MY HEAD, I JUST DIDN’T WANT HIM TO KILL ME KNOWING HE HAD MY GUN. WATCHED A SHORT CLIP OF THE VIDEO THAT THE PROSECUTION CLAIMS THAT LOCKETT SHOT OF THAT ENCOUNTER WITH THAT VICTIM. YOU COULD HEAR HER SHAKY, FEARFUL VOICE ON THAT VIDEO. THE JURY WATCHED THIS WHEN SHE SAID, OH, GOD, PLEASE, NO. TESTIMONY RESUMES TOMORROW MORNING AND SHOULD LAST THE REST OF T
