PORT TOWNSEND — A forensics expert testified Wednesday that Douglas McFarland of Quilcene was clearly a homicide victim.
The murder trial of Robert J. Stoner, 55, of Quilcene started Wednesday morning after a jury of 12 members and two alternates was selected Tuesday.
Paul Gosnick, former state forensics specialist for the King County Medical Examiner’s Office, testified that McFarland was shot to death multiple times with a high-caliber weapon.
He said his autopsy of the 48-year-old man showed that he had received a gunshot to his face and another that entered his body near his neck bone and traveled down to strike his heart.
