Emotional Testimonies and Conflicting Evidence Presented in West Trial

Phillip West, father of Trezell West, gave emotional testimony at the trial of his son and daughter-in-law, Jacqueline West, who are charged with murder in the deaths of their two youngest adopted sons. The boys, Orrin and Orson, were reported missing in December 2020, but prosecutors say they died about three months earlier. Phillip West testified that he never saw the boys after his son's family moved to California City and that the last time he saw all the children together was in July 2020. Surveillance footage also contradicts the Wests' claim that the boys were with them when they left their other children with Trezell's parents.
