District Attorney James P. Goodman put on his second key witness the the murder trial of a Reading man that began this week in Schuylkill County court. The witness testified the defendant, Julius C.Enoe, fired the fatal shot which killed Bruce L.Forker, of Shenanodah, on the morning of March 16, 2010, as the Commonwealth winds down.

Damon L. Ennett, 30, of Freeland, Luzerne County, told the jury that he and the defendant had planned the burglary and drove to Forker's home because he owed money for drugs. The plan was to recover the drugs and money owed. Ennett placed the amount at $4,500.Ennett testified Enoe and his nephew, Jahmal Ollivirre, also of Reading, entered Forker's residentce and that Enoe "had the gun." Ollivirre previously testified his uncle fired the shot which killed Forker.Ennett testifed he remained outside in the car and Enoe and Ollivirre came running out of the house and Enoe still had the gun. "I asked why did you shoot him?" and the response was, "I didn't mean to shoot him."Under cross examination Ennett denied he and Olllivirre planned the burglary. The defense in cross examining Ollivirre tried to establish that he had the gun and pulled the trigger because of his inexperience and that he panicked but Ollilvirre strongly denied it. He was 20 years old at the time of the shooting.
