By ANN KEIL6 News Reporter
KINGSTON (WATE) -- A woman who says she was there when a Roane County deputy and his ride-along friend were killed told a Roane County jury the first shots came from the officer's cruiser.
Anne Watts took the stand Friday in Leon Houston's retrial on murder charges.
Leon and his brother, Rocky Houston, are charged with first degree murder in the fatal 2006 shootings of Deputy Bill Jones and Mike Brown.
The brothers are being tried separately. Both were tried previously, but in both cases the juries were unable to reach verdicts.
Watts testified that she hung out with the brothers for just over two weeks before shootout. She was on the porch the day of the shooting, smoking marijuana with the brothers and two other friends.
She said Jones' cruiser drove past the house slowly. That agitated Rocky, prompting him to grab a rifle. She says Leon was "concerned."
At that point, Watts told the jury, Rocky said "It's on."
When Jones' cruiser pulled into the gravel driveway, Rocky headed to the vehicle and stood "right next to the cruiser." He was at the driver side window when the cruiser stopped. Leon was still on the porch.
Watts said "as soon as the driver puts the car in park" the first shot was fired. Watts said that shot came from the passenger side of the cruiser, which is where Brown was sitting.
"I never said [Rocky] stepped off the porch and started shooting first," she said in response to questioning by prosecutor Ken Irvine.
Watts said the shootout "started and ended within 10 minutes."
According to Watts, Leon "wasn't expecting any kind of trouble."
"As far as I know, he was unarmed that day," she told the jury.
FBI investigator contradicts Watts' testimony
The prosecution followed Watts' testimony by bringing FBI agent Buddy Early to the stand. Early was one of the crime scene investigators after the shooting.
"There was chaos," Early said, when he arrived at the Houston home.
Early said he interviewed Watts later that day in her home. She told him that day that Rocky fired the first shots.
Defense attorney Jim Logan challenged Early on his testimony, raising several questions about how he interviewed Watts and why the interview was not recorded.
"We don't always record everything witnesses say," Early answered. Instead, Early said, he tries to organize the statements because witnesses tend to wander with what they're saying.
Trooper says he took Leon Houston into custody
Tennessee Highway Patrol Trooper Mike Melhorn told the jury he responded to a call from Leon Houston, saying Leon wanted to surrender himself.
After the arrest, Melhorn said, Leon told him "his family had been targeted [by law enforcement] since the Civil War days."
Defense reads from testimony of last trial
In an unusual move, the defense was allowed to present testimony before the state had finished presenting its case.
Irvine told the judge testimony from a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation ballistics analyst would take longer than time was available Friday, so Judge David Hayes allowed the defense to begin presenting its proof.
Logan read from testimony Randall "Teddy" Townsend presented in Leon Houston's previous trial. Townsend has since passed away.
In the first trial, Townsend told jurors he had a confrontation with Jones earlier on the day of the shooting.
"He took his right hand and he patted his gun and he said, 'If you see Rocky Houston, Townsend, you tell him that I have something for him," Townsend said in July 2008.
Judge Hayes said he expects the case will be handed to jury by next Friday.

When I was growing up, the first thing I really learned to cook that didn't involve an aluminum tray was pancakes. I was thrilled to be able to make something I really liked and from that day forward, pancakes were my "specialty". Mother's Day? Why she's getting pancakes, of course. Father's Day? He's getting pancakes, too!
With my mother's assistance, I eventually graduated to french toast, scrambled eggs, bacon on the extra-crispy side (I still haven't quite mastered the art of bacon!) and for special occasions, chocolate chip cookies.
Learning to cook with my mom is a special memory for me and with my own children, we've begun to forge some special traditions that I hope they will remember when they grow up.
The one really special thing we do is bake birthday cakes for everyone's birthdays. In fact, nobody in our family has ever had a bakery or store-bought cake. Hopefully, never having had a Barbie or Spongebob cake isn't scarring my kids too badly!
To make it extra fun, I let my kids decide what kind of cake we're going to make (keeping in mind, of course, the birthday person's preferences). This means, for example, that my husband gets a chocolate cake with some kind of special addition like chocolate or butterscotch chips and most likely a homemade fudgy frosting.
I also let them add the ingredients I've measured and use the hand blender to mix it, though occasionally one of them will lift it too far out of the batter or frosting and spatter all of us with it (we're still working on the part!) When the cakes are done and cooled, I give each of them a rubber spatula and let them frost away and then cover their cake with sprinkles, colored sugar or colored confetti candy.
This tradition has become so popular that when someone's birthday is coming up, they remind me days in advance to make sure I have all the ingredients needed!
What's with all the cooking talk, you ask? Well, The Motherhood, Rice Krispies® and yours truly are asking moms to share some of their special kitchen and meal time moments. Your idea could be selected to be a part of the new campaign and at least two readers will win a fun prize from Rice Krispies.
So tell me, dear readers, what special things do you do in the kitchen or around meals with your kids that you'd like to share? You can answer the above question OR the following "fast five" in the comments to be one of two randomly selected prize winners and remember, your idea could become part of a new Rice Krispies campaign!
- What is the wackiest creation to come out of your kitchen when you and/or the kids were trying something new?
- Do you have any special traditions that the kids look forward to doing in the kitchen with you?
- What was the first meal you taught your kids to cook?
- Have you experienced any kitchen disasters with your kids?
- Do you have a nightly ritual with your family when it comes to meal time? If so, please share it!
If you have photos or video of you and your kids in the kitchen, feel free to share a link!

- "A few Istani kids have been spreading foolish tales of a great snowman named Freezie being built in Tyria.

[edit] Reward dialogue
Elder Skruuj
- "Did the children cry and whine? They'll get over it. This is the only way they'll learn that Wintersday is a serious time of the year, not one for mirth and merriment.

June 20th 1837: Queen Victoria succeeds to the throne
On this day in 1837, Victoria became Queen of the United Kingdom aged only 18, following the death of King William IV. Her coronation took place on 28th June 1838 and Victoria was the first British monarch to live in Buckingham Palace. She married her first cousin Prince Albert in 1840 and had 9 children. The couple were deeply in love and upon his premature death in 1861 she was plunged into deep mourning. As Queen, Victoria tried to influence government policy, but initially relied heavily on the Whig Prime Minister Lord Melbourne. She was a beloved Queen and a national icon who oversaw the great period of change dubbed the 'Victorian era' after her reign. Queen Victoria served until her death on 22nd January 1901, thus making her reign of 63 years and 7 months the longest of any British monarch.
"Lord Conyngham then acquainted me that my poor Uncle, the King, was no more, and had expired at 12 minutes past 2 this morning, and consequently that I am Queen"
- Victoria's diary for 20th June 1837

Dir: Max Ophüls
Scr: Arthur Laurents
Orig Story: Libbie Block
Prod Co: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, The Enterprise Studios
Cast: James Mason, Barbara Bel Geddes, Robert Ryan
1949 / USA / B&W / 35mm / English / Eng subtitles / 88min
Caught is somewhat controversial in its appraisal by critics. Most consider it less accomplished than Max Ophüls's better known films, such as Letter from an Unknown Woman (1948) and Lola Montès (1955), but none other than Jean-Luc Godard and Pauline Kael regard it as the director's best American work. It's the story of a model who dreams of a rich husband, only to have it realized. Ophüls tones down his characteristic ornate style here, and the film's brilliance only attest to the magic of cinema, when an artist handcuffed by circumstances manages to produce great art. The husband in the film is modeled after Howard Hughes, with whom Ophüls had a bitter experience working on Vendetta (1946).
The film was restored by the UCLA Film and Television Archive from a 35mm nitrate positive, in cooperation with Republic Pictures.

User Reviews
The community thinks...
May never want another car other than the xc90 by Kari in Placerville on 07/03/2012. Trim: 2004 Volvo XC90 2.5T, Owned 5 years.
Pros: I love that my car can basically turn into a truck whenever I need. I can load up a bunch of kids and take them on school field trips.
Cons: Would love better gas mileage. Who wouldn't? I average 20 MPG. I would like a more quiet ride, but the car IS 8 years old.
Overall review: I love my XC90, my next car will be an XC90. I bought it used and currently have 214,000 miles on it and it is going strong. Of course there are possible problems looming with so many miles on the car, but considering how much I drive I have had little troubles with this car.

Site places second in the U.S. in the Best of the Web annual awards
Louisville Metro Government's website has been honored with a Best of the Web award from e.Republic's Center for Digital Government. This year www.louisvilleky.gov took second place in the annual awards, finishing only behind first-place winner Seattle, in the city portal category.
In its 16th year, Best of the Web (BOW) recognizes outstanding government portals and websites based on innovation, functionality and efficiency.
"In a world where people increasingly go straight to the internet to get information, our city's website is a valuable tool," Mayor Greg Fischer said. "I applaud the Metro Technology team for the hard work and dedication that resulted in this national honor once again."
Louisville has been entered in the awards since 2006, finishing in the top 4 every year, with a 2nd place finish in 2010, just behind first-place Boston.
"One of our missions is to provide convenient access to city services, a key directive in the Mayor's Citizen Bill of Rights," Beth Niblock, Chief Information Officer for Metro Government said. "My team has done a great job developing an easy to use website, applications for mobile devices, location-based mapping, and simple pay-online services, all part of the Mayor's strategy."
"The goal of every government website is to provide online services and information to constituents," said Cathilea Robinett, executive director of the Center for Digital Government. "However, this year's winners have taken the power of the Web to the next level – combining clear communication, design aesthetic and easy navigation. Their foresight and leadership is creating unforeseen opportunities in government-to-citizen interaction and positioning the portal as a critical piece of public service delivery. The Center thanks them for their continuing innovation and congratulates them on their achievements!"
