A jury heard testimony Tuesday in Horry County as the trial continued for Camisha McGaskey, accused in the death of 11-year-old A’Kyri Bell. Prosecutors say McGaskey was responsible for Bell’s blunt force trauma death and also face an obstruction of justice case. That includes allegations she lied to prosecutors and destroyed evidence. The week began Monday with jury selection, discussions involving expert witnesses and evidence, and testimony from the lead detective. Witnesses called by the state included Bell’s teacher, the paramedic who responded, two police officers who investigated the death, and the emergency physician who treated Bell at Grand Strand Medical Center. Prosecutors entered photos showing injuries linked to blunt force trauma and sexual abuse. They also played body camera footage from a HCPD officer’s interview with McGaskey and three others present in the home when Bell died. A homicide detective testified that the scene investigation did not test for blood. McGaskey’s co-defendant, Alexandria Thomas, has pleaded guilty to unlawful conduct towards a minor in exchange for agreeing to testify. Thomas told the court she was on scene when Bell died and said she did not tell officers the truth at the time. Thomas said she and McGaskey, along with others, lived in the home, and described changes after Bell’s father, Vernon Bell, left. She testified she saw McGaskey use a mop handle and a cord to hit Bell, and said beatings occurred daily, sometimes multiple times a day, after Vernon left. She also told the court Bell stopped going to school because of her face and described punishment that included Bell walking up and down the stairs. The trial is ongoing as prosecutors continue presenting evidence for the murder case and the obstruction of justice charge.
