STAMFORD -- Jurors in the trial of a Greenwich man accused of shooting two gas station attendants in 2009, killing one of them, asked in state Superior Court in Stamford on Tuesday to review evidence and testimony.
During the trial of Alain LeConte, 24, jurors listened to testimony about three armed holdups he is accused of committing over a two-month period. He allegedly shot two convenience store clerks in the head, killing one in Norwalk and severely injuring another in Greenwich. LeConte is also charged with using a gun to rob a Stamford bodega.
He is facing more than 60 years in jail on the charges.
As they did earlier in the trial, jurors Tuesday heard a secretly taped jailhouse conversation involving LeConte, in which he admitted to many details of the crimes.
"I'm full throttle with this (expletive)," LeConte can be heard saying on the tape, referring to the time period immediately before the 2009 robbery of the Mobil on the Run gas station on East Putnam Avenue in Old Greenwich.
LeConte recalled how he rushed away from the Greenwich crime scene with an accomplice, later identified as Teran Nelson, and they sped toward Bridgeport "like it was a movie."
Nelson, the getaway driver in the robbery, took the stand previously in the trial.
Jurors listened Tuesday to a recording of his testimony.
Nelson testified he acted as a lookout outside the gas station while LeConte entered and, soon after, he heard a popping noise.
"When I heard the pop noise, I panicked and started to run," Nelson said.
Nelson has signed a cooperative agreement in the case, exchanging his testimony to reduced exposure to jail time.
Jurors once again saw video surveillance footage from the Greenwich crime and the Oct. 10, 2009, robbery at the West Avenue Shell station in Norwalk, in which a hooded suspect shot and killed gas station attendant Jose Joaquin Morales.
In surveillance footage from both crimes an armed man dressed in black aims a gun at the attendant.
The attendant in the Greenwich video can be seen exiting the store clutching his head after the man leaves.
David Wash, of Bridgeport, faces robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery charges in connection with the Greenwich crime.
Mustafa Jacobs is facing felony murder, robbery and conspiracy charges for his alleged role in Morales' murder.
Mark Phillips, LeConte's attorney, and Senior Assistant State's Attorney James Bernardi, the case prosecutor, both rested their cases last week.
