Woody: Warning. This episode of Real Life Real Crime, the podcast, may contain descriptions of acts of violence or that of a sexual nature and should be for people that are 18 years or older. Heed my warning, people. I do not get the facts of these cases off of the internet or from some television show. The facts I'm retelling you were presented to me by the victims of the crimes or the perpetrators who committed the crimes against the victims. My descriptions of the crime scenes, what I saw with my own two eyes. If you're going to get offended, please turn this podcast off now. Thank you.

Hello, everybody, and welcome to this episode of Real Life Real Crime, the podcast. As always, I'm your host. Woody Overton. Today, I'll be continuing with witness testimony in Courtney Coco's murder trial, which David Anthony Burns is on trial for second degree murder of Courtney Coco. What I'm telling you are the facts didn't come out in the news. I'm trying to give it to you word by word. I took shorthand as best I could. Sometimes, I'll paraphrase things. If I make any mistakes, it's an honest mistake. I don't think I have, but if I do, there it is.

All right.

Y'all, the next day, we go into court there a little bit early before the jury comes in. Hugo Highland, by the way, he's doing a phenomenal job, I think, in this trial. He actually has come up to me a couple of times and talked to me or whatever. He came and he sat by me. There's not a lot of people in the courtroom yet. And he said, "You know, Woody, I'm like you, I think. I keep waking up in the middle of the night thinking about all the different things. I'm still learning as I go." And I told, "Mr. Hugo," I ask his statement, I said, "I think you're the best I've ever seen at a trial." You know what he said? He said, "Well, I'm certainly giving my all." I said, "There's no doubt about that, brother." He got up and walked away. David Anthony Burns' attorney, LaCour, came in. He's wearing a brown suit with a vest. David Anthony Burns came in, and he's wearing a white shirt and black pants, and Hugo had on a black suit.

Jury comes in, they seat them, go on the record. First witness, Hugo calls Ms. Ina Laborde. Now, y'all, Ina Laborde is the grandmother I never had. Mine were all deceased. I call her Ma affectionately. She was like 40 something years union rep for the Department of Corrections. Little bitty, tiny thing, heart of gold, best lady in the world. I love her to pieces, and I call her Ma. But anyway, they called Ms. Ina Laborde to stand. Remember, the day before, Michelle had testified about the comforter being missing and the rags and the dryer and all that stuff. But also, the lady, Ms. Charlene, I believe her name was, testified that David Anthony Burns told her he wrapped her up in plastic and dumped her in Texas. Now, heretofore, it's always been the comforter, and the comforter was missing.

Now, Ms. Ina, when she was sitting in court, well, she had something to say about the plastic, and I'm going to tell you. Hugo says, "Who are you?" And she said, "I'm Courtney's grandmother." He said, "When was the last time you were in Courtney's house before she was kill
