Andre Jackson

It was very hard.

I've got to have him arrested when he's a victim.

Unpleasant.

Very unpleasant.

Lewin, the prosecutor, and Marcus, the witness, were at odds.

And if the prosecutor's star witness didn't show up for trial, Andre could easily walk free.

Coming up...

February 17th, 2012.

Nearly 18 years after Marie Singleton's body was discovered, her husband Andre went on trial for her murder.

It might be hard to accept, but that man murdered his wife, and he needs to be held accountable.

In the weeks leading up to trial, prosecutor John Lewin wondered if his star witness would show up.

He wouldn't even come out here.

Marcus was terribly conflicted over the guilt he felt at not speaking up sooner.

and the love he still felt for his stepfather, Andre.

He didn't like the idea of testifying against Andre.

No, he did not.

But a day before opening statements, much to Lewin's relief, Marcus did show up for trial.

But he was, to say the least, a reluctant witness.

Marcus told the jury his harrowing story of the fight he'd witnessed between his mom and his stepdad six weeks before her murder.

You know, she was, call the police, call the police.
