Goodine Trial Day 2: Blood, Lies, and Evidence | Chattanooga News

The murder trial of Lawrence Goodine, accused of killing his girlfriend Kara Akins, is heating up as prosecutors reveal he lied to 911, claiming she overdosed when evidence points to blunt force trauma. Defense challenges key evidence, including a discarded blood-stained rug, while new testimony and surveillance footage show Goodine dragging Akins into her home — and a chilling 911 call where he says she “took something.” The case deepens with revelations about Goodine’s past: acquitted on multiple charges from his time as a Chattanooga cop in 2018, but barred from returning to the force. With more prosecution evidence expected, the jury must sift through conflicting facts to decide his fate. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
