A New Hampshire man faces trial for allegedly shooting and killing a minister he frequently prayed with. Twenty-eight-year-old Brandon Castiglione stands accused of killing pastor Luis Garcia of the New England Pentecostal Ministries Church in Pelham, NH on October 1, 2019. Less than two weeks later, Garcia’s stepson allegedly opened fire at a wedding event hosted at the church, injuring three people, including Castiglione’s father, Mark Castiglione. The 28-year-old was charged with two counts of second-degree murder for allegedly “knowingly and recklessly†killing Garcia.

Someone get her water please…..shes gasping for air
Those 2 minutes were very uncomfortable hahaha. The first time I had missed what the attorney said so I’m watching like????? Are they watching something that I don’t see orrrrrr
Did the defense attorney just say that Brandon was in a trance state of prayer and didn't notice the victim getting shot?
His phone can still be examined. I'm not sure about his clothes which the cops should still have.
The government. The government. The government. The government. The government. The government. Defense Must of said that 300 times in opening
Her cough
I'm curious as to what evidence they do have if they really didn't do the basics we all expect to hear now . As a kid i had to go to many many church gatherings, long story, but people did speak in tongues. I was about 11, only saw it close up once guy was in a trance, I wasnt super scared because in my house i had heard about it, but it was ..unsettling. i remember backing away..I had forgotten about that till today. None the less, looking forward to seeing who has what. 🤷â€Â♀ï¸Â
If Brandon didn’t do it and he was there ask him who did.
Audio begins 2:29, opening statements begin at 19:44
Poor coverage
Grandma was about to say, “ He had the gunâ€Â.
Brandon speaking in Demon Tongues!!!
Wait a minute, this officer is on his way to do a welfare check but has no idea for who?
Shouldn’t you know a little about who you’re looking for? Maybe that’s common.
This is the second trial where I’ve seen the attorney swear the witness in. I’ve seen one other trial where the judge’s asst swore the witnesses in.
A little odd to me.
USA has way too many guns 😢
How utterly boring are people from New Hampshire…a crime worse than murder.
Sounds like someone is snoring nearing the microphone 😂
The states prosecutor is quite handsome and the officer MEOW!! Lol just saying
Sometimes older people are taking meds that cause a cough and it is very annoying for them also.
…She was “franticâ€Â, so why tf would you go into the house then GRANNIE?!! Especially knowing how “needed†you were outside with your grand babies there!!! I mean a killer is another RIGHT? 😡
She just said Daniel was on the phone calling 911!!!
“So when I saw the look on her face, I ran in the house..I wanted to see what was wrong 🙄 *cough *cough†2:16:39
Her Body Is Reacting To Her Lies!! *Cough *Cough!!!
SHE WENT IN FIRST!!!! 2:15:02
And where did you STAY?!!!! 😒
“In the driveway with the kidsâ€Â
MAJOR SLIP UP THERE GRANNIE!!
Body will tense up when lying..restricting airway *cough *cough *cough
How do we follow Garcias stepsons vengeance trial? (Baring he pleads not guilty/passion crime)
Are we watching this off of a web cam or something? Whats with the intermittent freezing?
Someone please give that grandma some codeine!
I do not trust that grandma. Even old ladies can be devious.
I know. 🙄
If the first witness was second in line, why didn't the FIRST one in line call out the firearm first?
If it was early afternoon, how could they tell there was a light on in the room upstairs?
Grandma must have allergies or whatever. She's not doing well with that cough.
Castiglione’s mental competency was brought into question in the beginning stages of the case, but he refused to participate in an evaluation. In March, a judge determined the defendant did not need to be reevaluated ahead of the trial.
A seemingly related shooting took place just over a week later, on Oct. 12, 2019, during a wedding ceremony at a church in Pelham, some 12 miles south of Londonderry. Dale Holloway, Luis Garcia’s stepson, is charged with first-degree assault for shooting three people at the ceremony, including Mark Castiglione  the defendant’s father and the groom at the wedding that day. A trial date has yet to be set for Holloway.
What's up with the audio? 😫
I feel so bad for this old lady having to be up there giving testimony bc u can tell it’s hard for her to talk without coughing and then to be reliving that day all over again. 😢 I hope she is okay. â¤
19:52
You're welcome
Seriously, childish move by the prosecution to wait two minutes to define two minutes… to prove that is not a short time before taking someone into custody.
Very intelligent woman! She cannot help her cough obviously!
OMG THAT COUGH!!!! I can't TAKE it anymore!!!!!!
Religion is evil.
Am I the only one who finds the grandma's couch super annoying?
Some guy is snoring! Lol
Why is chat disabled?
Catching up on this one. This defense is using the oldest trick in the book, hopefully it’ll never hold water.
Sounds like a pretty cut and dry case but we’ll see.
Thank you L&C
I know nothing about this case- I’m learning everything as it comes out live during the trial. I will say the defense had a better opening statement. They made better points. The prosecution basically said “he was found in the room with the body, along with his gun and bullets- case solvedâ€Â. The defense is making good points about evidence that wasn’t collected… like why wouldn’t they take his phone and run it? Why wouldn’t they test his hands for GSR? These are questions that could raise reasonable doubt, but still too early to tell. Now I’m very curious to hear the evidence!
@ onejurormatter that's who I thought he was (Duty Ronat first.
I couldn't take the coughing – sorry i missed her testimony. I felt bad for the court reporter right in front of the witness.
