Testimony began Tuesday (Nov. 10) in the trial of Christopher Hutsell, the 38-year-old transient charged with second-degree murder in the March 19 death of fellow transient and reported girlfriend, Julia Anderson, in a McDonald’s parking lot on Elysian Fields Avenue.

Orleans Parish prosecutor Iain Dover focused his opening remarks on witness testimony that he said puts Hutsell at the scene of Anderson’s death, arguing with the 23-year-old Illinois native before fatally stabbing her.

“Julia and the defendant were both gutter punks, and I don’t know why Julia chose that lifestyle,” Dover told the jury of 13 people, eight women and five men. “I have no Earthly idea why she chose to hang out with the defendant. But the evidence will show she did not choose to be stabbed that night. She did not choose to die alone in that parking lot, surrounded by strangers.”

Hutsell’s public defenders told the jury that no blood was found on Hutsell’s body or on his clothes, and that a murder weapon was not found. Police focused on Hutsell, his attorneys said, despite one McDonald’s employee whose suspect description does not match Hutsell.

“The state’s whole case is about the incomplete, mistaken memory of a single eyewitness,” said one of Hutsell’s attorneys, Sarah Chervinsky. “What happened to Julia Anderson is horrifying. It’s heartbreaking. She did not deserve to be a victim, and the person responsible deserves to be punished. (Hutsell) is not the man responsible.”

New Orleans police found Anderson late in the evening of March 19, clutching around her neck from a stab wound authorities believe was inflicted by Hutsell after the two argued in the parking lot. Police picked up Hutsell not long after the stabbing. He was sitting drinking a beer outside the Carnival Casino about a half-mile down Elysian Fields.

Hutsell, a Connecticut native whose last known address is in New York City, pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree murder and obstruction of justice. Dressed in a loaned black suit and having shaved the dreadlocks shown in his original booking photo, Hutsell sat slouched back in his chair throughout much of the first day of his trial, occasionally rubbing his left thumb and index finger together.

On March 19, Julia Anderson was murdered in an act of domestic violence. There is no cure for the pain that her family feels, but the Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (La-SPCA) took one small step to ease their pain. The group tracked down Anderson’s family in Missouri and returned the victim’s dog.

Alicia Haefele, Communications Director for the La-SPCA said that after the murder, EMS bought Anderson’s dog, Momma to the group. The group scanned the dog and the implanted microchip helped them find the victim’s parents Jeannine and Jim, as well as their Missouri address.

The couple wanted their daughter’s furry friend, but there was the issue of getting Momma to her home 835 miles away. Fortunately, the La-SPCA already had scheduled the 13 hour trip north for their specially equipped transport trailer.

On Wednesday (4.01), Jeff Frojd, Jeannine’s brother, met up with the transport and took Momma home to Jeanine and Jim.

“Being with Momma is the only thing keeping me going,” says Jeannine Anderson. “Our family will gain strength from Momma.”
