Lawyer objects to new evidence in Garner family fatal crash case

A lawyer representing Jordan Porter, charged with killing a Garner family in a 2024 crash, filed an objection regarding new evidence submitted by the state, WRAL reported. The objection requests that the court require live testimony from the chemical analyst and those involved in the chain of custody for chemical testing related to Porter's blood and bodily fluids.

Porter faces three counts of second-degree murder after the Memorial Day 2024 crash that killed a Garner family of three, according to court documents cited by WRAL. The defense's motion argues that any new evidence should be accompanied by live testimony to ensure proper examination during the trial.

The case remains active as the court considers the defense's request to compel live testimony from the state's chemical analyst. This development highlights ongoing legal proceedings in a high-profile crash case affecting the Garner community near Raleigh.

WRAL's coverage provides updates on the legal process as the trial continues, with the defense challenging the introduction of new chemical evidence without live witness examination.
