Quote:
On the night before Owens was slain, prosecutors say he and Richardson met at a convenience store. She had dollar bills pinned to her dress and told him it was her birthday.
It is not clear if the pair were dating or had met for the first time.
The court heard that the pair stopped several times that night so Owens could buy alcohol, marijuana, cocaine and PCP.
Prosecutors said the couple joined three other people for a party at Motel 6 on Interstate 30 near Jim Miller Road in Far East Dallas. Owens paid for the room.
The pair were joined by Diedre Lyons, a friend of Owens', her cousin and another friend. She said everyone was drinking and taking drugs. Lyons said she left the party about 4am or 5am the next day because she felt sick.
The afternoon after the party, about 5pm, a security guard heard a loud disturbance from Owens’ room on the third floor and saw Richardson run out of the room, naked and covered in blood.
He called police, who found Owens dead in the room. It appears that no-one else was in the room.
Meanwhile, Richardson was taken to hospital with a stab wound on her right thigh, a cut on her forearm and hair stuck in the dried blood on her fingers.
Dallas News reported that, during her sexual assault exam, Richardson said he felt like she had been raped, but couldn't recall what happened or identify her attacker.
She told the medical examiner, Dr. Evelina Alcalen, who testified in court, that she had consumed vodka, beer, marijuana and medication for schizoaffective disorder.
Alcalen said there were no signs of sexual assault injuries, but it's normal for rape victims to be injury- free.
