Dauphin County prosecutors said a drug debt prompted the fatal shooting of a Harrisburg woman the day after her 23rd birthday.
First Assistant District Attorney Francis Chardo said Haydee Freytes had taken heroin from a dealer and didn’t pay for it.
Chardo told the jury in the murder case against Glenn Taylor and Mwandishi Mitchell that Freytes was a prostitute and a drug user and they thought nothing of taking her life over a minor drug debt.
Defense lawyers said the entire case is based on the statements of another prostitute and drug addict. Both defendants maintain they were with relatives on the night of Nov. 1, 2000, when Freytes was killed.
