Charles Coates Held in Shooting Death of Cousin, Eddie Leonard Jr.
A judge today found substantial probability that Charles Coates killed his younger cousin, possibly for $200 to help pay a cable bill.
Judge Gerald Fisher made that decision after hearing testimony from an MPD homicide detective involved in the case and watching a 45-minute taped interview that Coates gave at police headquarters when he was brought in for questioning.
Assistant US Attorney Emily Miller laid out a complicated case for the court Tuesday, drawing on statements from a half dozen witnesses as well as teasing out inconstancies in Coates’s various accounts for what happened the night his cousin, Eddie Leonard Jr., was killed.
Coates’ defense attorney, Elizabeth Mullin, argued that prosecutors could not pick and choose which pieces of Coates’ statement they wanted to be believed and which ones should be regarded as false.
According to charging documents in the case, Coates spoke with investigators twice about Leonard’s death: once while riding to the Homicide Branch for an interview and again during that interview.
Detective Michael Fulton testified Tuesday that Coates wasn’t a suspect until he started talking to police. Fulton said detectives initially went to Coates’ home to interview him.
“We firmly believed he was just a witness,” Fulton testified.
