Day 3 of Tirrell Edwards murder trial: Jurors show cell phone video from night of Amanda Williams' d

As the trial of the Warrensville Heights man accused of murdering his fiancée continued Thursday, jurors learned that Tirrell Edwards had recorded multiple videos on his cell phone from the night of Amanda Williams' death. The prosecution showed those videos in court Thursday.

In one of the played videos, Williams appears to be holding a knife while arguing with Edwards, before putting the knife down and then walks towards her fiancé.

"You going to stab me?" Edwards asked her.

"I'm going to defend myself," Williams answered.

"Defend yourself from what?"

"I'm going to defend myself."

"You['re] acting violent."

Williams then put the apparent knife down and approached Edwards.

"There you go," he told her. "See?"

In another one of the videos, Williams grabbed the recording phone out of Edwards' hands. A lot of commotion is then heard before Edwards is seen near the headboard of the bed around where he said Williams kept her gun under the mattress. Next, Edwards is heard shooting Williams multiple times.

"Dude. Chill out, dude," Edwards is heard saying. "Ow. Chill out. Chill out, man! Chill out!"

"You know what?" Williams asks.

"Chill out!" Edwards said again. "Why are you trying to cut me with — ?"

"You know what? You know what?" Williams continued.

Then, six gunshots rang out in what was a highly emotional moment for the courtroom to hear.

The prosecution next played the video of the shooting in slow motion, for easier viewing. They stressed that in the footage, Edwards never asked Williams to put down the knife, never told her he had a gun, and didn't warn her that he was going to shoot her. They also said that while Edwards was near the headboard of the bed grabbing the gun from under the mattress, Williams was several feet away towards the foot of the bed, and was not near or approaching Edwards.

The prosecution also expressed that no apparent negative emotion could be heard from Edwards in the video after the gunshots before the video turns off.

At the end of the court session on Thursday, the state said it had wrapped up its presentation of evidence. The judge remarked that trial will continue Friday morning.

3News asked the defense team if they'll be bringing anyone in to testify. They only answered, "Maybe."
